The Kent State University Alumni Association is seeking nominations for the Alumni Awards. These awards recognize graduates in the area of leadership, service, character and professional development.
“The alumni association is proud to recognize notable, accomplished graduates,” said Lori Randorf, assistant vice president of Kent State’s Alumni Relations. “These awards not only bring distinction to the alumni who receive them, but also to the university as they showcase the contributions Kent State graduates make to their professions and society.”
Five alumni awards will be granted along with one student award. Individuals can choose to nominate themselves or others.
“We encourage everyone to nominate Golden Flashes they feel are deserving of recognition,” Randorf said. “The alumni association wants alumni whose achievements represent Kent State’s spirit, character and tradition of excellence to be acknowledged.”
Nominations will be accepted until Dec. 31. Award recipients will be notified the following spring and recognized at the Alumni Awards Ceremony held in the fall of 2016.
