The most remarkable signs of a University’s vitality are seen in the success and achievements of its alumni.
St. Cloud State University granted its first alumni award in 1963, establishing a long tradition of honoring our distinguished and committed alumni – those who embody the spirit of St. Cloud State, those who have shaped the world and those who have strengthened our global alumni community.
The SCSU Alumni Association is proud to recognize and honor exceptional graduates at several events during Homecoming Weekend at St. Cloud State. The awards spotlight outstanding living alumni, friends and employees who demonstrate the highest standards of integrity and character; individuals whose career and life accomplishments reflect positively on our University community.
We invite St. Cloud State alumni, faculty, staff, administration and emeriti to offer a nomination. Awards are presented in four categories (Click on the award category title to link to a list of previous recipients):
