Neumann University Alumni Awards

 

Neumann alumni are making their way in the world. They are the business leaders, educators, and transformers of the world. Their actions reflect what it truly means to have received a Catholic education in the Franciscan tradition. To celebrate their accomplishments, the alumni association celebrates the Alumni Awards during Charter Day.

All are welcome to participate in the awards process by sharing the achievements of fellow alumni through nomination. Nominations for any award may be submitted throughout the year and will be held for future consideration. Submit nominations via the nomination form below.
