Alumni Awards

Each year, the Alumni Board and Board of Trustees of Eureka College recognize the successes, professional accomplishments, and heartfelt support of our alma mater by special individuals within our community.

These individuals receive recognition for their accomplishments and support of their alma mater during a special celebration dinner held during Alumni Weekend on campus each spring. Nominations for alumni awards are welcomed by any member of the campus and greater community and can be submitted for consideration by filling out the form below. You may nominate yourself or any worthy person as set in the guidelines for each award.
