Nominations for Bloustein School Alumni Awards Being Accepted

June 16, 2022

Bloustein Alumni are doing great work—and we want your assistance in order to recognize them. The nomination period for the award ceremony will be open later this summer. We will be accepting nominations via an online form, which can be downloaded from our secure site at a later date – stay tuned!

Alumni are recognized each year by the Bloustein School Alumni Association in the following two categories:

  1. Career Achievement: Those named to this honor are Bloustein School Alumni 15 or more years beyond completion of their studies, whose personal and professional accomplishments have demonstrated the highest standard of the public service ethic and whose commitment to civic improvement have brought credit to themselves, their communities, and the Bloustein School.
  2. Rising Star: Formerly the Young Alum Award, those named to this honor are more recent Bloustein Alumni who are fewer than 15 years beyond completion of their studies, whose personal and professional accomplishments have been of the highest caliber and have brought credit to the school

Since 1994, the Alumni Achievement Awards have recognized Bloustein School alumni who have made exemplary contributions to their professions and communities, while demonstrating support of the Bloustein School. The purpose of the Bloustein School Alumni Hall of Fame, inaugurated in 2013, is to showcase and honor the current and all previous recipients of the Alumni Achievement Awards whose personal and professional accomplishments have been of the highest caliber and brought credit to the school.
