Distinguished Alumni Award
The Alfred State Alumni Council has established awards to honor alumni who bring distinction to our alma mater and to themselves through their outstanding personal and professional achievements.
We are honored to present the following awards to a group of distinguished alumni who have been nominated by you, the alumni community.
We continually accept nominations for the Alumni Awards. Please take a moment to read the two categories, and nominate someone you feel deserves to be recognized for their achievements. Winners will be announced in the spring of each year and will be recognized at an upcoming event.
Letters of nomination can be submitted via email to Alumni Relations at Alumni@alfredstate.edu. Nominations should be no more than 750 words, and should include a description of the leadership qualities, honors, accomplishments, and other supporting information which qualify the nominee for the award. Please include the nominee’s full name, class year, address, telephone number, and email address.
