Thank you for submitting a nomination for the Alumni Merit Award. This award honors outstanding alumni and honorary alumni for their achievements, leadership and contributions to their profession or field of study, their community and their alma mater.
Award Criteria
Recipients must have attended Baldwin Wallace University for a minimum of one year, or must have served the University for a minimum of ten years.
Nominees are evaluated on their achievements since graduating from or leaving BW. A general guideline, though not a requirement, is that a nominee will have graduated 10 years ago or more.
Ability to be in Berea to receive the award shall not be a criterion.
The Alumni Merit Award may be conferred posthumously.
What happens next? If more information is needed beyond what is submitted in the nomination, the Office of Alumni Engagement may contact the nominee to prepare a complete biographical file for the selection committee. The selection process takes place in the winter months by BW's Alumni Council. Only nominees chosen to receive an award will be contacted with the decision. All nominations remain active for five years, and nominees may be re-nominated at any time, by anyone.
