You can determine who receives the Alumni Awards presented each year at Homecoming. Review the following award descriptions and send your nominations to the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations. The nominations, except those for Sports Hall of Fame, are reviewed by the Alumni Executive Board and honorees are chosen for the presentations during Homecoming. Sports Hall of Fame nominations are reviewed by the Sports Hall of Fame Committee.<\/p>\n

Pioneer Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pioneer Award is presented each year to an outstanding alumnus or alumna, in recognition of outstanding or meritorious achievement in his or her chosen field; for distinguished service to church, community, country and humanity, and for continuing and loyal service to the College.<\/p>\n

Frontier Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Frontier Award is presented to an outstanding alumnus or alumna in recognition of outstanding or meritorious advancement in his or her career. Consideration will be given to former students who have been graduated from the College at least five years, but no more than fifteen years. Consideration for this award should include continuing and loyal service to Tusculum.<\/p>\n

National Living Faculty Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National Living Faculty Award is presented each year to an outstanding member of the Tusculum College faculty who has made significant contributions to Tusculum\u2019s academic program(s). Persons shall not be eligible for consideration until they have maintained an academic relationship with the College for at least five years. To be considered for recognition, faculty members should have excelled during their service to Tusculum by demonstrating a commitment to the students of the College and the academic program(s).<\/p>\n

National Alumni Recognition Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National Alumni Recognition Award is presented each year to an outstanding member of the Tusculum College Community. The purpose of the National Alumni Recognition Award is to bestow recognition on those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the College. Persons shall not be eligible for consideration until they have maintained a relationship with the College for at least five years. To be considered for recognition, individuals should have excelled during their service to Tusculum by demonstrating a commitment to the students of the College and her program(s).<\/p>\n

Sports Hall of Fame<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nominations are open to Tusculum College alumni, former coaches, managers, sports editors, team trainers and other individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the College\u2019s sports program. Persons shall not be eligible for consideration until five years after they have completed their college-playing career, or, in the case of a non-athlete, maintained their athletic relationship with the College for at least five years. To be considered for induction, athletes should have excelled in their individual Tusculum sport, attaining individual honors and recognition while a student. Merely belonging to a season-winning team is not an achievement worthy of induction.<\/p>\n

Sports Benefactor Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sports Benefactor Award is presented to a friend of the College in recognition of outstanding support of the Tusculum athletic program. Consideration for this award should be based on the person\u2019s contributions to the athletic program and loyalty to the College athletics.<\/p>\n
