Distinguished Alumni Awards

Nomination Form

We encourage and invite members of the Carthage community to nominate individuals for Distinguished Alumni Awards. Please do not inform candidates that they are being considered. The Alumni Office will accept applications at any time during the year; however, any nominations received after Jan. 15 will be carried over to the following year. There are a limited number of awards presented each year. Therefore, not everyone nominated will receive an award. If you have any questions, contact Mardell Fisher at (800) 551-1518 or send an e-mail to: alumnioffice@carthage.edu.

If you would like to submit a nomination, please complete the form below. Include any information on how the person has distinguished himself or herself, and all other pertinent information about the nominee.

Be as specific as possible and provide factual statements, lists of offices held, hours of voluntary service, or accomplishments that directly benefit the individual's church, alma mater, or society.

Nominations remain confidential.
