The Colorado State University Alumni Association Distinguished Alumni Awards program recognizes CSU alumni and friends who have distinguished themselves professionally, brought honor to the University, and have made significant contributions of time and/or philanthropy to the university or their community.

Last year, three alumni from the College of Liberal Arts walked away with awards.

GOLD – Graduate of the Last Decade Award: André Heller (BA ’03, Art) Head of Mission, Médecins Sans Frontieres

College of Liberal Arts Distinguished Alumni Award: Jim Sheeler (BA ’90, Technical Journalism) Pultizer Prize winning Journalist

Distinguished Athletics Award: George Seward (BA ’72, Political Science) President, Power Genetics

This year, we would like to nominate an alumnus from the Department of Music, Theatre and Dance. If you know a CSU alumnus who would be a perfect candidate for the Distinguished Alumni Awards, contact MTD Alumni Relations Coordinator Marilyn Bistline at Marilyn.Bistline@colostate.edu by Monday, February 27, 2012.
