Minnesota State University Moorhead 2012 Alumni Foundation
Distinguished Alumni Awards
Friday, September 28, 2012
Minnesota State University Moorhead accepts nominations for several categories of awards. Distinguished Alumni Award recipients typically are at the peak of their professional or community service careers. Outstanding Young Alumni Award recipients have also had notable careers but have more recently graduated. Outstanding Volunteer Service Award recipients have made significant contributions of time and talents to the university. All the recipients share one characteristic: they clearly stand out when compared to their peers. Each has made significant contributions to the communities where they reside and work. Nominations are received throughout the year and each spring a committee is formed to examine the nominies and select that year’s honorees. The committee relies heavily on the nominating materials received and also contacts employers and colleagues. President Edna Mora Szymanski and the entire MSUM community are very proud of this year’s honorees and assume that each will continue to make our communities and this university better places in which to live and work. Each award recipient exemplifies the high standards we have come to expect from graduates and friends of Minnesota State University Moorhead.

As its founder and president, she has led the development of the ASAH Boarding School for Orphan Girls, which opened in February.
