professional and civic contributions, while bringing a sense of honor, pride
and recognition to the University community.

exemplified by his or her commitment of professional expertise and/or
volunteer service to Montana State University-Billings.
Recognition for Exceptional
Contribution: Honors four alumni who have distinguished themselves in
fields ranging from business, professional, education, volunteer service to a
community, public or civil service, or arts and sciences having impacted those
fields while bringing a sense of pride and recognition to the University
community.
Past recipients of these awards have included persons who have exhibited unusual
courage, creativity, perseverance, originality of competency in their chosen
field; raised the quality of life for other; contributed to and promoted the
advancement of higher education; or distinguished themselves as leaders in their
profession or area of interest.
Eligibility: To be eligible for an award, the nominee must either have obtained a
Certificate of Completion, an Associate, a Bachelor's or Master's degree from MSU Billings, or
completed six quarters or four semesters at MSU Billings. This includes students
who enrolled in any of MSU Billings' six colleges: Allied Health Professions, Arts and Sciences, Business,
Education, Professional Studies and Lifelong Learning or
Technology.
Honorees are chosen by a select
committee comprised of faculty and alumni who are leaders in their fields.
The Awards Committee seeks nominations for outstanding alumni in general; it
then matches each candidate with the appropriate category, based on information
received about that candidate.
