Distinguished Alumni Awards

The prestigious “Distinguished Alumni” award is presented to selected alumni whose professional, personal, and/or civic accomplishments and service to the community have earned them unquestionable recognition. This year’s award will be presented at the College Commencement ceremonies in May 2024.

The award recognizes alumni for professional achievements (demonstrated accomplishment(s) in any field of professional endeavor) and personal achievements (demonstrated accomplishment in any field of community service or any area where active participation demonstrates that the nominee is a shining example for others).

Brookdale Community College Alumni Affairs invites the college community and the community at large to submit nominations. The deadline for nominations is Friday, January 26th.
