Outstanding alumni

Do you know an alumnus who has made a difference? Nominate them for the Alumni Distinguished Service Award or the Young Alumni Award.

Each year the UNCG Alumni Association recognizes as many as two outstanding alumni who have exemplified the university's “service” motto — whether in their profession, community or university — for the Alumni Distinguished Service Award. The impact can be local or it can be at the state or national level.

In addition to making a difference, the recipient(s) must “exemplify creative and continuous personal growth and a willingness to embrace our changing world.”

The Young Alumni Award is given to an alumnus 40 years old or younger who has made exceptional achievements and significant contributions to their profession, community or university.

The winner should exemplify outstanding professional and personal development either through traditional channels or innovative approaches.

Both awards will be presented during a special reception hosted by the chancellor in the spring.

The deadline for submitting nominations for both awards is Jan. 5. To receive a nomination form, please visit www.uncg.edu/ala/awards.html, call the Alumni Office at (336) 334-5696 or email Melissa Potter at melissapotter@uncg.edu.
