Rewarding excellence in volunteer leadership

Alumni Forever Duke Award

Our newest award, presented for the first time in 2009, is our way of recognizing alumni who have offered excellent recent volunteer leadership in support of the Duke Alumni Association’s mission of engaging, connecting, and celebrating. This could include inspiring service in such roles as a leader of Duke Alums Engage, on a campus board or committee such as a Board of Visitors or Capital Campaign Committee, or as a coordinator of one of our regional networks or a class reunion. We honor recipients each year at Homecoming.

Student Forever Duke Award

In 2010 the Forever Duke Student Award was established to recognize excellence in volunteer service of current students to the mission of the Duke Alumni Association to engage, connect, and celebrate alumni and friends of Duke University.  The award recognizes students who have built and/or support programs that connect students and alumni and promoted the idea that your time at Duke is only the start of your relationship with Duke.

Each year, nominations are submitted by staff in the Alumni Affairs and University Development offices and approved by their respective boards. The winners are notified of their selection by the president in July. Nominators should describe in detail how their candidates have excelled in their volunteer position.
