How Recipients are Selected
Award recipients are chosen by selection committees formed from the Alumni Association board of directors’ standing committees. Each is chaired by a member of the Alumni board. Committee membership includes additional Alumni board members, alumni at large, and members of the campus community. After the committees make their selections, award recipients must be approved by the University president.
