Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Recognition

The Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Recognition (Reconocimiento Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz) is an award given since 2003 by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). It is presented to women of the institution for achievements in "teaching, research, or the dissemination of culture." Consisting of a medal and a diploma with the image of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, it is awarded annually in conjunction with International Women's Day.

The technical or internal council of each Baccalaureate school, faculty, research institute, etc. submits nominations of outstanding university students to the UNAM general secretariat. On or about March 8, a ceremony is held at the Teatro Juan Ruiz de Alarcón in which medals and diplomas are awarded.

The requirements to receive the medal include having a definitive academic appointment at UNAM, not having received the award previously, excelling in the proposed fields, and being nominated by a technical or internal council.
