In preparation for its centennial celebration in 2015, Missouri Western State University continues to accept nominations for Griffon Notables – students, alumni, faculty, staff or community members who have made a positive impact on Missouri Western.
“As we look back on 100 Years of Transforming Lives, we want to honor those who have had a role in transforming Missouri Western into the institution it is today,” said Colleen Kowich, director of alumni relations and centennial steering committee co-chair.
Notables may be recognized for:
· Demonstrated excellence in service to the university
· Continuous commitment to Missouri Western and its mission, vision and legacy
· Professional achievement and distinction that contribute to University pride
· A pioneering spirit reflected in starting a new program, or greatly expanding an existing program
· A pivotal role in the university’s establishment and growth.
Nominees may be living or deceased. Nominees will not be contacted in advance of selection. Self-nominations will be accepted.
Nominations will be accepted through Dec. 1 on the Centennial website, www.missouriwestern.edu/centennial. Those selected will be listed on the website, and living notables will receive a congratulatory letter from Dr. Robert Vartabedian, Missouri Western’s president, as well as an invitation to the Founders’ Day celebration in September.
