Cause for celebration

All around the globe, UNCG alumni are making a difference. And UNCG would like to celebrate them.

Every year, the Alumni Association recognizes outstanding alumni with two kinds of awards: the Alumni Distinguished Service Award and the Young Alumni Award. If you know someone who deserves to be honored, submit a nomination before Jan. 5.

Recipients of the Alumni Distinguished Service Award have made significant contributions to the liberal arts ideal in Service. Distinctive service may have been rendered on national, state, and /or local levels.

The Young Alumni Award, presented to alumni 40 years of age and younger when nominated, recognizes exceptional achievement and significant contribution to the recipient's profession or community/society or university. The recipient must exemplify outstanding professional and personal development either through traditional channels or innovative approaches.
