  • Distinguished Alumni Awards

    The MSUM Alumni Foundation seeks to recognize and honor accomplished alumni. We are proud of your success, and in turn, proud of the role MSUM has played in your lives. While many are deserving of recognition, only a select few are chosen each year. Each recipient exemplifies the high standards we have come to expect from graduates of Minnesota State University Moorhead and each has made significant contributions to the communities where they reside and work.

    Nominations may be submitted throughout the year, with review and selection occurring in the spring. Recipients are honored at the Distinguished Alumni Awards ceremony, an integral part of Homecoming festivities. The 2013 ceremony will be held Friday, September 27th 2013.

    Nominations are accepted the following categories of recognition:

    Distinguished Alumni Award - are typically at the peak of their professional careers. More than one alumnus may be selected.

    Outstanding Young Alumni – one up and coming alumni graduate of the past decade is recognized as making notable career or community impact.

    Outstanding Service Award is given to one individual who has made a significant contribution of time and talent to MSUM.
