We welcome your nominations for Distinguished Alumni of the Corps.

4. At least three letters of support
5. List of any awards or achievements known

Nominations for the 2023 award are due by Dec. 1, 2022.

A committee made up of members of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets Alumni Inc. board, a member of the commandant’s staff, and a member-at-large from the university will review nominations and select each year’s recipient. The honoree, along with family and friends, will be invited to a recognition reception and ceremony, generally held during the spring semester.

Nomination packages will be held for each individual for five years. If an individual is not selected for the award, her or her nomination package may be updated and renewed for consideration in a subsequent year. Nominators names will not be disclosed without their permission.
