Award recipients will be featured in the Winter 2027 issue of Arches and honored during Summer Reunion Weekend in June 2027. We especially encourage nominations for alumni celebrating class reunions ending in 2 and 7 — though all alumni are eligible, including self-nominations.
All nominations remain active for three years.
