Nominations

Since 1959, Pfeiffer has chosen to recognize the extraordinary contributions made by alumni of the institution by presenting two annual awards to deserving individuals. The Service Committee of the Alumni Association Board of Directors is charged with bringing nominations to the Board at large, where a vote is taken during the Board’s annual spring meeting to determine recipients.

• The Distinguished Alumni Award is meant to honor excellence in one's profession or community service.
