Yearly Alumni Awards

Nursing Officers | Alumni Awards | Nursing News & Publications

Each year the UT College of Nursing Alumni Board of Directors honors two alumni for their dedication to the College of Nursing. One award is for Outstanding Alumnus and the other is for Most Supportive Alumnus. Have a look at the distinguished people who have been past recipients of these two awards!

Although this is a very distinguished list of folks, there are other people who are just as deserving of these awards. Here's where you come in! If you know of someone who would be a good nominee for either Outstanding Alumnus or Most Supportive Alumnus, please send your letter of nomination to:

University of Tennessee Health Science Center
Office of Development and Alumni Affairs
Suite 500
