Alumni Awards 2023 nominations deadline

Each year the Illinois State University’s Alumni Association recognizes individuals who personify the University’s tradition as an environment for excellence. Through outstanding achievements and contributions, these individuals bring honor to Illinois State and the Alumni Association. Established in 1971 with one award, the program has grown to six award categories to better recognize the accomplishments of alumni at different stages of their careers.

Presented annually during the Founding Celebration, the awards include the Outstanding Young Alumni Award, Alumni Achievement Award, E. Burton Mercier Service Award, Distinguished Alumnus Award, Andrew Purnell Jr. Trailblazer Award, and Senator John Maitland, Jr., Commitment to Education Award.
