Durham College is looking for nominees for its annual Alumni of Distinction Awards. Candidates should be post-secondary graduates who have been successful in their careers and who have contributed to the college and/or the community.
Six awards will be presented, one for each of the following categories: applied arts (creative arts and design), applied arts (community service), business, health sciences, recent graduate and technology. The recent graduate category is new this year, and open to Durham College alumni who graduated in 1996 or later.
Alumni of Distinction Awards will be presented at the college's convocation ceremonies on June 21. Winners' names will be entered automatically in the Premier's Awards competition. Premier's Award winners will be announced next February and recipients will be honoured at an industry conference.
To nominate an individual for Durham's Alumni of Distinction Awards, please send the grad's name and profile, including his or her contributions to the college and/or community, to Durham College's alumni office (P.O. Box 385, Oshawa, ON L1H 7L7; e-mail: lori.connor@durhamc.on.ca). Supporting documents such as letters of recommendation should be included. Nominations must be received by March 29, 2002.
