Outstanding Alumni Awards

Deadline to Nominate: March 15, 2021

Established in 2005, Minnesota State College Southeast's annual Outstanding Alumni Awards are presented at graduation to two outstanding alumni -- one from the Winona campus and one from the Red Wing campus. 

Nominations for 2021 are open until March 15, 2021. For more information, email cjohnson@southeastmn.edu

Criteria for Outstanding Alumni Awards

1. Earned a diploma or degree from Minnesota State College Southeast more than 5 years ago;
2. Professional and/or personal achievement (e.g., career achievements, obstacles overcome, etc.);
3. Service to others (e.g., community service, service clubs, church, volunteerism, etc.);
4. Support to Minnesota State College Southeast (e.g., financial, board representative, advocacy, volunteerism, support/employment of grads, etc.)

Typically, recipients are required to attend the college’s commencement ceremony to receive the honor. Since this year’s commencement ceremony will be held virtually, that requirement is waived. Instead, recipients will be asked provide a brief video statement acknowledging the award.
