Alumni Award Nomination

The Awards

The SPU Alumni Association presents prestigious alumni awards to outstanding individuals. The recipients are honored and presented with their award during Homecoming activities. The Alumni Board encourages you to participate in this special activity by nominating individuals in categories you feel deserve special recognition by the SPU Alumni Association. Nominations are made by alumni, former students, friends, faculty and staff. Final selection is made by the Alumni Board following receipt of nominations. The deadline for nominations is February 15. There are no restrictions on the number of nominations that can be submitted by an individual.

The Categories

• Alumnus of the Year Award
  The Alumnus of the Year personifies the goals that Seattle Pacific University has for each of its graduates. The selection process looks for a balance between the areas of professional competence, community service, Christian maturity, and school support. A quality of wholeness is the uniqueness that is possessed by every Alumnus of the Year recipient. The recipient will be an SPU graduate representing thousands of other alumni who also possess this wholeness of life and who are making positive contributions to their communities. Current members of the Board of Trustees, Alumni Board, SPU faculty, staff and administration are ineligible

• Medallion Award
  The purpose of the Medallion Award is to honor someone who has given outstanding service to Seattle Pacific University, his/her community and chosen profession. The recipient of the Medallion Award will be an SPU graduate whose contributions are more focused and more locally recognized. The selection process will give deliberate consideration to a variety of professions and types of service.

• The Distinguished Service or Distinguished Leadership Award
  This award recipient, like the Alumnus of the Year Award recipient, personifies the goals that Seattle Pacific University has for each of its graduates. Unlike the Alumnus of the Year Award, recipients may include: an SPU officer, a member of the Board of Trustees, a non-alum, or others who have volunteered service to SPU. The selection process looks for a balance between the areas of professional competence, community service, Christian maturity and University support. A quality of wholeness is the uniqueness that is possessed by every Award recipient.

• Young Alum of the Year Award
  The Young Alum of the Year is someone who personifies the mission and values of Seattle Pacific University and has graduated within the past 10 years. The recipient of this award demonstrates leadership and responsibility; seeks to engage the culture and change the world; contributes to the welfare of his/her community; pursues a mature and active Christian faith (values/morals); and provides loyal support to Seattle Pacific University and its mission (time, talent, and treasure).
