Alumni Fellow
The Alumni Fellow Award is the most prestigious award given by the Penn State Alumni Association. Since 1973, the Alumni Fellow Award has been given to select alumni who, as leaders in their professional fields, are nominated by an academic college and accept an invitation from the President of the University to return to campus to share their expertise with students, faculty, and administrators. The award is a cast bronze statue and framed certificate.
More information and a nomination form are available on the Penn State Alumni Association's website.
Also, please contact the College of Education Alumni Office if you would like to nominate someone.
