Each year, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences celebrates individuals for professional excellence or exceptional civic, cultural or charitable service. The awards were established following the college's 50th anniversary in 2009. To date, the college has honored 212 alumni, faculty and staff.
Each year, a wide range of nominations are submitted by students, alumni, staff, faculty and friends of the college. Nomination materials are evaluated by a selection committee comprised of alumni, faculty and staff who are appointed by Dean Brinkmann.
The nomination deadline is April 22.
