The Tennessee Tech Alumni Association is soliciting nominations for its 2005 awards program.

Nominations should be made no later than July 15 and mailed to Alumni Relations at Box 5157 or e-mailed to Alumni Relations Director Tracey Duncan at tduncan.

Awards are divided into three categories:

* Distinguished Alumni Awards are presented to Tennessee Tech alumni who have distinguished themselves at the top of their profession and/or in community service.

* Outstanding Young Alumni Awards are presented to Tennessee Tech alumni 40 years old or younger who have made a valuable contribution to their profession and/or community.

* Outstanding Service Awards, which are not limited to Tennessee Tech alumni, are presented to individuals who have provided long-term valuable service to Tennessee Tech and to their community.

Nominations are welcome from anyone — faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends. Nomination forms are available through Alumni Relations, but they're not required — simply send your name, the name of your nominee and the nominee's résumé or vita to Alumni Relations.

Awards will be presented during Homecoming weekend, Friday-Saturday, Nov. 4-5. Visit the Alumni Relations awards web site for more information.
