The Alpha Chapter of the Boston University Association of Alumni has selected US Army Chaplain (Col. Ret.) Janet Horton as a Distinguished Alumnus of Boston University School of Theology for 2011. The commendation for Chaplain Horton states:

“Janet Horton has, with remarkable quality, embodied the essence of the mission of the School of Theology. Ms. Horton served a pioneering role in the Army Chaplain Corps for more than 28 years. Her persistence and dedication to principled Christian love and ministry had a broad and powerful impact on the US Military. She was the first woman to serve as a Corps Chaplain, and was the first woman promoted to the rank of Colonel in the Army Chaplain Corps. 

“Ms. Horton’s deep commitment to provide a healing Christian ministry in the midst of conflict won praise during US and NATO missions in Albania, Bosnia, and Kosovo, where she managed religious support. She served two tours at the Pentagon, and she was at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
