KSU seeking alumni award nominations

Staff report

KENT

The Kent State University Alumni Association is seeking nominations for the Kent State University Alumni Awards.

These awards recognize graduates in the area of leadership, service, character and professional development.

“The alumni association is proud to recognize notable, accomplished graduates,” said Joy Wesoloski, Kent State’s assistant director of alumni relations. “These awards not only bring distinction to the alumni who receive them, but to the university as they showcase the contributions Kent State graduates make to their professions and society.”

Five individual alumni awards will be granted along with one student award. Individuals can choose to nominate themselves or others.

“We encourage everyone to nominate Golden Flashes they feel are deserving of recognition,” Wesoloski said. “The alumni association wants alumni whose achievements represent Kent State’s spirit, character and tradition of excellence to be acknowledged.”

Nominations will be accepted until Dec. 31. Award recipients will be notified the following spring and recognized at the Alumni Awards Ceremony, which takes place in the fall of 2015.
