Alumni Awards
Kent State University recognizes and honors Golden Flashes who have made exceptional contributions in their professions, communities and at Kent State through their leadership, character and hard work.
Sponsored by the Kent State Alumni Association, the Alumni Awards are highly prestigious honors presented each year to outstanding alumni, alumni staff and students.
Categories
Awards are presented in seven different categories each year.
Please read through each of the award categories and provide as much information as possible on why the nominee should receive that specific award. For applications, resumes and supporting documents are strongly encouraged.
Award Descriptions
Nominate a Golden Flash
Let a fellow Flash know you think they’d be a great candidate for one or more of Kent State’s Alumni Awards by nominating them for an award.
A nomination does not provide Kent State with enough information to consider someone for an award. For alumni, students or staff members to be considered for an Alumni Award, an application must also be submitted.
Nominees will receive an email asking them to complete an application. However, nominators are also able to submit the application on someone else’s behalf if they have all of the necessary information including contact information, employer information, career history, achievements and awards, résumé, supporting documents, etc.
Nominations can be anonymous. Those wishing to nominate themselves need not fill out a nomination form; instead please complete the application linked below.
