It's that time again! Time to nominate your classmates for Alumni Awards! It is tradition to carry out the values and the mission of Scholarship, Character, Culture, and Service. One of the best times of the year is getting to honor those alumni who go above and beyond in doing so. Has someone come to your mind? Maybe a classmate, a team member, or a club member? Nominations should be submitted by April 1^st. Check out the award descriptions, and submit your nomination. We can't wait to celebrate these alumni with you all this fall.
