Alumni Awards Nominations

NOMINATIONS FOR ALUMNI AWARDS AND ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME AWARDS

The Summit Alumni & Athletic Hall of Fame Awards were established to honor alumni who carry out the mission of The Summit – to develop spiritually, academically, physically, socially and artistically, and to become people of character who value and improve the world they inherit.

Please take a minute to review the criteria for awards given to deserving Alumni. Help us to identify people who deserve recognition by nominating a friend, a classmate or yourself! The awards will be presented during a luncheon at Alumni Reunion/Homecoming Weekend on Saturday, September 18, 2010.

ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES are Alumni who attended any school or part ofThe Summit Country Day School orThe Summit Boys School and have made outstanding contributions in athletics and demonstrate qualities of good citizenship. Eligibility begins the 10^th year after nominee's graduation year from The Summit. Inductees may also be all persons who do not qualify in the "Alumni" category (ex., Coaches, Team Managers) but who have made outstanding contributions to The Summit Athletic Program. Again, eligibility begins upon retirement or the 10^th year after separation from The Summit.

These honors are not necessarily presented annually but are conferred based on merit:

The Meritorious Service Award granted to a Summit graduate or former student for specific and meritorious service to the Summit, the community, state or nation.

The Young Alumni Award is given to an Alumna/us who has graduated during the last 20 years. It is awarded for significant accomplishments in business or professional life or for service to the community or The Summit and/or The Summit Alumni Association.

The Artistic Achievement award is also given to an Alumna/us in recognition of their significant contributions to the world of art.

The Spiritual-Christian Service Award is given to a Summit Alumna/us who has devoted their life in service to others, who affirms the fullness and complexity of human existence, who appreciates social justice and who brings about changes that make it more possible to live The Summit ideal in contemporary society.
