Each year the University of Maine at Fort Kent Alumni Association recognizes a UMFK alumnus or alumna for outstanding character, professional achievement, distinguished leadership, service to UMFK, and service to the community.

Without input, the association is unable to present a deserving individual the appropriate recognition, according to a news release from Susan Tardie, university relations.

Those know someone who has demonstrated success in his or her career and/or personal life can nominate them at umfk.edu.

The deadline for submission is Tuesday, Feb. 28. The recipient of the award will be honored during the university’s annual homecoming weekend in September.

Those who would like a hard copy of the nomination form or more information can contact Susan Tardie at susan.tardie@maine.edu or 207-834-7557.
