Each year, the Board's Nominations and Awards Committee solicits nominations and recommends candidates to receive Alumni Association awards. Each award may be presented to one or more alumni.

Nominations should be received by Aug. 1 to be considered. Nominations received after that date will be considered the next award-review cycle. All applications will be considered for two award-review cycles. After that date, nominators are advised to re-submit a nomination.

To ensure a fair process, the Board will only consider nominations received by the nomination deadline, in the nomination format, and in the right award category. If you have questions about the form or process, or the award categories, please contact Erin Williams, director of alumni engagement and annual giving at erinwilliams@augustana.edu or 309-794-7176.
