Young Alumni Recognition Program
“15 Within 15” — Montevallo Alumni Achieving Greatness within 15 Years of Graduation — recognizes driven UM graduates (bachelor’s or master’s) who have demonstrated a knack for leadership and passion within the first 15 years after earning their degree.
This list will honor the crème de la crème; those who have shown what it truly means to have a degree from Alabama’s only public liberal arts university. These rising stars will have shown that they have what it takes to rise above the rest. Do you know someone who has what it takes? Fill out the form and we’ll take it from there.
ELIGIBILITY
Your nominee must have an undergraduate or graduate degree from UM and have graduated within the last 15 years to be eligible for the “15 Within 15” recognition. If your nominee graduated at any point in the year 2005 or after, they are eligible for the award.
Applicants should have demonstrated accomplishments in their career, and in areas such as community and civic involvement, mentoring, volunteering, and so on.
This award is for individuals who help others. Individuals who are driven to making changes and who have the ability and expertise to see the changes through to fruition.
Current elected UM National Alumni Association officers and directors (including Junior Board) are not eligible to apply.
SELECTION
The selection of the “15 Within 15” honorees is made by the University of Montevallo Junior Alumni Board, a UM staff member and a current student representative from Future Alumni of Montevallo (FAM).
Please Note: There is no fee to apply for this award. Multiple nominations for the same person do not increase the likelihood of receiving the award.
The “15 Within 15” nomination period is October 1 – November 1, 2020. Selected individuals will be announced in February.
