The alumni association presents the award to no more than six graduates at the All-University Celebration and Salute to Alumni Achievement the night before May graduation. (The date of the degree determines class membership. If the individual did not receive a degree, the nominee shall be considered a member of the class that graduated four years after first enrollment. If the nominee has received more than one NU degree, the individual shall select one degree date for award purposes.)
  • Recipients MUST attend the awards ceremony to receive an award.
  • The fact that an individual has previously received an alumni association award in another category does not preclude him/her from receiving this award.
  • The awards committee will accept nominations from any alumnus, friend or alumni affiliate organization of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
  • The awards committee retains and considers nominations for three years or until selected.
  • The deadline for submitting nominations for the 2009 awards is Dec. 1, 2008.

Completing the Nomination Form : As a general rule, the nominator should limit documentation to no more than four, single-spaced typewritten pages (or equivalent, if handwritten). There are two critical considerations for the nomination materials: (1) Be responsive to the criterion for the award ("a record of outstanding achievements in a career and/or civic involvement"); and (2) Remember that selection committee members will make their determinations based on the responsiveness, clarity and completeness of the nomination materials. As a nominator, you have decided to offer this person for consideration; do make the very best "case" that you can.

Provide information on the following:
1. Summary Statement . In one page or less summarize the most important aspects of the nominee’s life and/or career that qualify him/her for this award. (You will have space for elaboration in numbers 2 and 3 below.)


2. The Record. Describe the nominee’s record of outstanding service in civic, philanthropic or volunteer activities and/or record of outstanding achievements in the nominee’s chosen career (significant career accomplishments including publications, research, patents, other creative work and/or involvement in professional societies).


3. Recognition . Identify and describe honors and awards that the nominee has received.
