Call for Nominations: Tell Us About Alumni You Think Should Receive an Award

THE SEARCH IS ON

"Every year we seek to honor great SPU alumni,” says Alumni Director Doug Taylor. “And the nominating committee wants to receive your recommendations. Tell us about those men and women you know who are living out the SPU vision.”

To nominate someone, send e-mail to alumni@spu.edu, or visit www.spu.edu/ alumni and click on “Alumni Nomination.” Include a brief summary of your nominee’s work and servi ce, contact information and the names of others who can speak to his or her qualifications.

In general, honorees live a balanced life of professional accomplishment, community service and Christian maturity. They are intended to represent the thousands of Seattle Pacific alumni who live lives of competence and character.
