The MCC Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna Nomination Form

The Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna Award is the highest and most prestigious recognition the McLennan Community College Foundation’s Highlander Alumni & Friends Association can bestow upon McLennan alumni. The award is presented to an alumnus or alumna of MCC who has demonstrated a record of distinguished service and extraordinary achievement in a particular discipline, organization, or cause that brings distinction to MCC. Each year, one individual is chosen by the MCC Foundation’s Alumni Awards Selection Committee to receive this prominent award.

To be eligible, nominees must have successfully completed a one-year certificate, two-year associate’s degree program, or have earned a minimum of 30 transferable hours (without a degree) from McLennan Community College prior to May 31, 2022.
