The Indiana University East Alumni Association invites members of the community and other interested individuals to submit nominations for the 2013 Indiana University East Distinguished Alumni Award.

The IU East Distinguished Alumni Award provides an opportunity to recognize outstanding Indiana University East alumni who have distinguished themselves through personal and professional accomplishments, community service, involvement with the University, and involvement with the Alumni Association.

Any alumnus/alumna who has received a degree from IU East or who has completed a significant number of courses on the IU East campus is eligible. Interim Chancellor Larry Richards will present the award during the 2013 IU East Commencement Ceremony on Friday, May 10. The award winner is expected to be a part of the platform party during the ceremony.

A list of past honorees is available online at iue.edu/alumni.

In addition to their professional careers, these alumni make an extra effort to be involved citizens in their communities. They share a common denominator – the willingness to care and belief that they can make a difference.

Names of those recommended for this honor may be submitted to the IU East Alumni Relations Office, 765-973-8221, or e-mail twiesaha@iue.edu, by March 1, 2013. Nominations may also be mailed to Indiana University East, Office of Alumni Relations, 2325 Chester Blvd., Richmond, IN, 47374.
