Call for Outstanding Music Alumni Award Nominees!
We are pleased to open the call for nominations for our annual Outstanding Music Alumni Award and Outstanding Young Music Alumni Award. Each year, we honor alumni from the NWU Music Department who exemplify our core values and have demonstrated outstanding musical excellence in their field. These awards recognize individuals whose contributions, whether through performance, education, leadership, or service, reflect the strength and spirit of our musical community. The Outstanding Young Music Alumni Award recognizes a graduate from the past 10 years and follows the same criteria.
We invite you to nominate a fellow alum whose work and impact deserve recognition. Nominees should demonstrate a sustained commitment to music, a record of achievement, and/or a meaningful connection to the values fostered during their time at NWU.
The selected recipient(s) will be honored during Wesleyan Weekend (October 22-25) and invited to campus to connect with current music majors and minors, sharing their experiences and insights.
Please send your nominations, along with a brief statement of support, to Kathy Benischek at [email protected] by Monday, June 1.
