Each Homecoming, the University of Montana Alumni Association honors outstanding alumni with Distinguished Alumni Awards. University alumni and friends are invited to nominate, on an individual basis, a graduate or former student for this award.

Recipients of the award are individuals who have distinguished themselves in a particular field and who have brought honor to the University, the state or the nation. The University of Montana Alumni Association Board of Directors Awards Committee focuses on career achievement, professional honors, professional membership/directorship, community service and UM or UMAA recognition or service in selecting recipients.

Distinguished Alumni Award Ceremony

Friday, Oct. 11 at 5:30 p.m. | University Center Ballroom

For questions, contact Jodi Moreau by phone 877-UM-ALUMS or email jodi.moreau@umontana.edu. 

2024 Distinguished Alumni Award Recipients will be recognized throughout the Homecoming festivities.
