Emerging Alumni Award Nominations

The Emerging Alumni Award was established in 2018 and is presented each year to those who, within the first 15 years since graduation, have contributed significantly to their profession and the world by adhering to the values that the University instills in its students.

Nominations will be:

Accepted from Muskingum alumni or former students, faculty, and staff, as well as from colleagues, friends, and family members. You are welcome to notify your nominee about your nomination. Self-nominations are also welcome.
Accepted year-round and kept on file and considered for three years.* The deadline for 2026 Emerging Alumni Award nominations is Monday, March 9, 2026.
Reviewed by the Alumni Council, who may reach out to nominators or nominees for additional information. Please be thorough with the information provided.

*Note that this means, for example, that individuals nominated 14 years out from their graduation from Muskingum will still be eligible and considered for the Emerging Alumni Award at 16 years out from their graduation.

Alumni award recipients will be honored at a ceremony during Magenta Homecoming, which will be held Oct. 9-11, 2026, on campus.
