Awards

Seeking nominations for the IU School of Dentistry Alumni Association 2018 awards

Each year the Indiana University School of Dentistry Alumni Association recognizes and honors a few individuals who have made sustained contributions to the Indiana University School of Dentistry and the dental profession. Please consider nominating a member(s) who has gone above and beyond the profession.

Nominees may include outstanding graduates and/or supporters of the Indiana University School of Dentistry who are not IUSD graduates, but have given much to the field of dentistry. Please keep in mind that these awards highlight their contributions to the field of dentistry as well as their contributions to their community, state, or nation.

It takes less than 5 minutes to nominate someone.

Fill out a nomination form

Here’s your opportunity to nominate your co-workers and other colleagues who deserve recognition for the difference they’ve made. You may nominate one or more people in each category. You may also choose to nominate yourself. The awards include:

Distinguished Alumnus Award (presented to an IU School of Dentistry graduate for outstanding achievements)
Distinguished Service Award (presented to an IU School of Dentistry graduate for exceptional service to the Dentistry Alumni Association)
Honorary Member (presented to an individual who is not a graduate of the IU School of Dentistry, but who has been determined to be worthy of membership status)
Certificate of Appreciation (presented in appreciation for specific contributions to the IU School of Dentistry and/or its alumni association; may, but need not, be a dental graduate)

All nominations will be given careful consideration and are decided upon by a committee consisting of your peers. Each award can be received only one time. Final decisions on the candidates will be made by January 29, 2018.
