Distinguished
Alumni Awards
These awards recognize IUP
graduates who have achieved distinction through
sustained performance in their fields or have provided

all of our outstanding alumni in a given year, but those
selected are representative of all alumni whose
professional achievements merit admiration and respect.

alumnus or alumna. See photos of all winners since
1999 in

Young
Alumni Ambassador Awards
The purpose of

graduates identified as being outstanding in their
fields and to present such alumni to current IUP
students as examples of exceptional achievement. The IUP
Alumni Association works in conjunction with the deans
of IUP's six undergraduate colleges to identify and
select candidates for the award. See a list of our
past winners, and
read on to see how to nominate a special young alumnus
or alumna.
Who's eligible?
Recent
graduates of IUP who have recorded notable
accomplishments in their chosen professions. Each year,
one outstanding alumni from each undergraduate college
of IUP is chosen to receive the award.
How are alumni
chosen?
The deans of
the colleges along with the Awards Committee of the IUP
Alumni Association Board of Directors review all
nominations. Final selections are made by the deans. The
awards are presented annually at Homecoming. At that
time, Alumni Ambassadors are invited to hold seminars,
presentations and panel discussions on topics related to
their professions.
