Alumni Awards

Since 1946, the CMU Alumni Association has annually honored those alumni whose lives of service and achievement, character and accomplishments represent the very best of all we call Central. They are nominated by other alumni, voted on by the Alumni Association's Board of Directors, and presented each Homecoming at the Alumni Awards Brunch.
