Alumni Honors

First presented in 1964, the NMU Alumni Association Awards celebrate the personal and professional achievements of NMU alumni who distinguish themselves through exceptional contributions to their profession, community and society.


Do you know someone who should be nominated? Nominations can be submitted year-round by friends, family, faculty and staff through the online nomination process. Nominations received by December 31 are considered for recognition the following year.
