Alumnus/Alumna of the Year

The Alumnus/Alumna of the Year is considered to typify the best that LSUSM-NO has to offer. The Board of Directors makes the selection from candidates you have chosen, based on their recognition in three areas: bettering the School, improving the profession, and participating in other important civic activities. When you make your nomination for Alumnus/Alumna of the Year, please be sure to specify why your nominee deserves the award. Past recipients and nonalumni/ae are ineligible. [* = deceased]
