WSU Alumni Association Awards

The WSU Alumni Association Fall Award nominations are open through March 15, 2026.

The Washington State University Alumni Association Board of Directors has established awards in several categories to honor alumni and friends of WSU who personify the University’s tradition of excellence, thereby bringing distinction to themselves and to their alma mater through their exceptional achievements, contributions to society, and extraordinary service to WSU.

Recognizing outstanding alumni is one way the Association shows its commitment to making WSU stronger. These honorees represent just a few of the thousands of alumni who contribute in countless ways to their fellow alumni, to the Alumni Association, to the University, to their communities, to their professions and areas of interest, and to humankind.

PLEASE NOTE: No person may nominate a spouse, brother/sister, child, stepchild, niece/nephew, or grandchild for the Alumni Achievement Award, Honorary Alumnus/a Award, Cougar Pride Award, or Volunteer Service Award. We do not grant posthumous awards to deceased persons.
