Alumni Association Seeks Nominations for Annual Alumni Awards

A long standing tradition at the USF Alumni Association is to annually recognize outstanding alumni and community leaders who have made a significant contribution to the university and the community.

Nominations from alumni, University friends and community members are accepted all year but must be received by January 31st of the presentation year to be considered by the Selection Committee for that year.

Recipients of the four awards are announced in July each year and are honored during an awards program at USF Homecoming in Fall.
