Golden Awards
The highest honor bestowed by the Alumni Association is the Golden Award. Selection is based on outstanding service to the University or the Alumni Association and distinguished leadership in the recipient's career or community. The first award was presented to D. Archie Peterson in 1967. Since that time, more than 80 individuals have been recognized.
The 2022 Golden Award honorees include Leslie (Gray) Coughlin '01, Jerry Helgeson '69, Robert Mau '74, Mark Sanford '61 and Veronic (Cavallo) Pinnick '04 will receive the Young Alumni Achievement Award.
The recipients were recognized at a dinner during homecoming week.
The criteria for the Young Alumni Achievement Award is the same as the Golden Award with one exception. The nominee must be between the ages of 21-39 to receive the Young Alumni Achievement Award.
