Faculty and staff members are encouraged to nominate alumni for the FDU Alumni Association Awards, which honor individuals whose outstanding professional accomplishments and volunteer services have contributed to the success and reputation of Fairleigh Dickinson University. “We know that faculty and staff are familiar with the accomplishments of our alumni, and we urge them to nominate those whom they feel are qualified for one of the three awards,” said Steve Kimmons, University director of alumni relations (Metro/Flor).

The Elia G. Stratis CASTLE Award is the highest award the Alumni Association presents and is given to a graduate who has demonstrated a lifetime of outstanding loyalty and service to Fairleigh Dickinson University. Recipients have made significant contributions to a specific college, school or program within the University or have served with distinction in organizations such as the Alumni Association Board of Governors or the University Board of Trustees. Two previously separate awards, the Elia G. Stratis Service Award and the CASTLE Award, have been combined to create the Elia G. Stratis CASTLE Award.

The Outstanding Young Alumni Award is presented to a graduate who has achieved exceptional success in his or her profession, and who has graduated in the past 15 years. Recipients are recognized for being emerging leaders in their fields or for service to the University and/or the Alumni Association.

The Volunteer of the Year Award is given to alumni who have contributed significantly to one or more of the following areas of the University: academic programs, admissions, athletics, career development, chapters, fund-raising and student life.

The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2004. A list of past award recipients and a nomination form can be found at http://inside.fdu.edu/alumni/awards.html.
