Each year, the College of Education is proud to present three alumni awards to recognize the outstanding achievements of graduates who have made a positive impact in the field of education.
Alumni, staff, faculty, students and friends of the university are welcome to nominate College of Education graduates from across all three ±«Óãtv campuses for these prestigious awards. Nominations are currently being accepted through March 20, 2024.
