The Buffalo State College Alumni Association seeks nominations for the 2004 Young Alumnus Achievement Award, which will be presented at a special awards reception on October 1, 2004, during Homecoming Weekend.
Now in its third year, the award recognizes alumni of the last 20 years who have (1) achieved significant professional advancement; (2) provided outstanding service to the community; and (3) demonstrated loyalty and commitment to Buffalo State College.
Last year's recipients, Randy Burd, '94; Kenneth Conner, '85; Robert Denning, '90; Sam Hoyt, '92; Gerald Mead, '85, '86; and Sundra Ryce, '96, represented the professions of radiation oncology, psychiatry, business administration, politics, and art. They demonstrated the wide range of careers pursued by successful Buffalo State graduates and served as superb examples of generosity and service to the college and the community.
The Alumni Association welcomes nominations from alumni, faculty, staff, emeriti, students, and friends of the college (self-nominations are also acceptable). The deadline for 2004 nominations is Wednesday, August 18; however, nominations are accepted year-round, and all nominations are active for three years. No posthumous awards are given. Award winners must be able to attend the awards ceremony.
