OEF Distinguished Alumni Award
Honoring the significant accomplishments of Okemos Alumni
2018 Nomination Deadline: April 1
Nominees for the OEF Distinguished Alumni Award must meet the following requirements:
Nomination Criteria
- Must have graduated from Okemos High School.
- Cannot currently be members of either the OEF Board of Trustees or current members of the Okemos Alumni Association (OAA) Executive Board.
- Must be living (no posthumous nominations).
- Cannot have previously received an award in this category; however, previous OEF award recipients may be nominated for a different OEF award.
- Must have distinguished themselves through achievement and/or actions of an exceptional nature in any field, vocational or voluntary, while also showing humanitarian concern. Preference will be given to those individuals who have maintained a high level of accomplishment or service over an entire career, rather than a single remarkable achievement.
Further, the selection committee will consider the following:
- Has this candidate had a wide-reaching impact on the profession and/or community in which the candidate has been active?
- How has the candidate worked to improve the lives of others? How has the candidate “given back?”
- In what ways have the candidate’s achievements been truly extraordinary?
