MCC seeks nominations for alumni awards

Submitted by McHenry County College

The McHenry County College Alumni Office is looking for applicants for its 2011 Alumni Recognition Program to acknowledge MCC alumni, and celebrate the role the college has played in their success.

Alumni have the opportunity to be recognized, not only locally, but may qualify for recognition programs at the state and national levels.

Nominations are sought for three awards: “Career Distinction Award,” which recognizes an MCC graduate whose individual spirit and take-charge attitude makes a difference in their career field or for helping a fellow employee to excel; “Excellence in Community Service Award,” which lauds alumni who have made a significant contribution by volunteering his or her time in the community; and the “Triumph Award” that honors alumni who have overcome personal, financial, or emotional hardship and have successfully completed his or her degree or certificate. This award celebrates the courage and applauds the perseverance of the nominee.

All nomination forms and support materials must be received by 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30. Winners will be announced in November. Awardees will be recognized at MCC’s December graduation ceremony.
