Once an Alumnus has been nominated, they will not be dropped from consideration for five years, provided they were not selected in the previous four years and remained eligible for selection according to the guidelines above.
Nomination Process
Any individual who meets the following criteria may nominate former students for the award:

A nomination must be supported by two other individuals, not related to the family of the nominee, whose contact information should be included with the nomination.
