The Distinguished Alumni Awards recognize IUP graduates who have achieved distinction through sustained performance in their fields or who have provided outstanding service to IUP. Enjoy learning about the 2024 winners of the Distinguished Alumni Awards. It’s not possible to honor all of our outstanding alumni in a given year, but those selected are representative of all alumni whose professional achievements merit admiration and respect. Read more about some of our past winners in our Alumni Profiles, or look through the list of past recipients.
The awards committee of the IUP Alumni Association Board of Directors reviews all nominations and presents its recommendations to the board. Awards are presented each year at the Distinguished Alumni Awards Gala.
Nominations may be submitted by faculty, staff, students, friends of the university, or any IUP alumnus or alumna.
