Alumni Awards 2024-25

Nominations are accepted year-round and will be filed for the 2025 Summer Reunion Weekend. Nominations should be submitted no later than August 31, 2024.

Awards recipients will be profiled in the Winter 2025 issue of Arches as will be honored during Summer Reunion Weekend June 6-8, 2025 when classes ending in 5 and 0 will celebrate their reunion.

Nominations of alumni celebrating a reunion year are encouraged; however, all alumni are eligible to receive this special honor. In addition to nominating other outstanding Loggers, alumni should also feel free to self-nominate. As you fill out the form, try to include as much detail as possible since this is the information that will be used to make determinations for each award.

This is one case where it’s definitely okay to brag!

The four award categories are:

  • Professional Achievement Award
    This award is given to alumni whose professional career and work exemplify the intellectual curiosity, active inquiry, and reasoned independence that a Puget Sound education develops. Recipients have gained national and/or international recognition in their careers in a manner that reflects positively on the university.

  • Young Logger Service Award
    This award is presented to a current student or recent graduate (within the past 10 years) whose contributions have resulted in inspiring young Loggers (alumni and/or current students) to engage more deeply in the rich alumni traditions and spirit of Puget Sound in career, public service, and/or volunteer activities. 

  • Service to Puget Sound Award
    This award is presented to a volunteer who has demonstrated extraordinary service to Puget Sound. Whether their alumni service includes involvement in the Alumni Council volunteer network or with academic or other university departments, these alumni have left an indelible mark on the university.

  • Service to Community Award
    This award is presented to alumni whose commitment, skill, and dedication have had a significant impact on their communities. Through voluntary service in artistic, recreational, educational, human service, or other worthy organizations, recipients of this award better the quality of life around them.
