Outstanding alumnus nomination process
Each year the Beeghly College of Education recognizes outstanding alumni from the college. One alumnus is selected annually from each of the BCOE academic departments plus, when deemed appropriate by the selection committee, a college-wide service recognition is awarded.
One alumnus will be selected for an award from each of the three BCOE program areas:
- Counselor
- Administrator
- Educator
We encourage you to submit a nomination. Nominations for the 2019-2020 academic year close on February 15, 2020.
Recipients will be recognized at the annual Alumni Awards Dinner, scheduled this year for Thursday May 7, 6 PM, in McKay Auditorium in Beeghly Hall.
