Nominations Open for UWAA Distinguished Alumni and Medallion Service Awards

Nominations are now being accepted for the University of Wyoming Alumni Association’s (UWAA) prestigious Distinguished Alumni Award and Medallion Service Award.

Applications submitted by Friday, Feb. 28, will be reviewed this spring, with awardees honored during UW’s Homecoming celebration in the fall.

The UWAA awards are:

--The Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes UW graduates who have achieved excellence in their business, profession or life’s work. Nominees must demonstrate integrity, stature and ability while reflecting the significant role their UW education has played in their respective achievements.

-- The Medallion Service Award honors alumni or friends of the university who have selflessly contributed their time, talent or support to UW. Nominees for the award do not need to be UW alumni, but must demonstrate exceptional commitment and integrity.

Nominations for both awards are open to the public, allowing anyone to recognize and celebrate deserving individuals. Submissions are accepted exclusively through the online nomination forms found here: Distinguished Alumni Award Nomination and Medallion Service Award Nomination.

Nominees must meet specific eligibility criteria, and nominators are encouraged to review the form thoroughly for any restrictions.

Once the nomination period closes, submissions will be forwarded to the Distinguished Alumni Selection Committee for review. The committee, composed of 12 members serving six-year terms, meets annually in the spring to review nominations and select honorees. Selections are then affirmed by the UWAA Board of Directors during their April meeting. Following this confirmation, awardees are notified of their selection.
