WINTERVILLE—The Pitt Community College Alumni Association will begin accepting nominations from the community early next year for awards it will present to outstanding graduates in the spring.
PCC Development Officer John Bacon says the alumni group will recognize honorees during the college’s annual Academic Excellence Awards Program in April. He said the organization is seeking nominations in the following categories: Distinguished Alumni, Outstanding Alumni, Young Alumni, Employee Alumni and Honorary Alumni.
“The purpose of our Alumni Awards is to shine a spotlight on the outstanding work being done by our graduates — professionally and in their communities,” Bacon said.
The Distinguished Alumnus Award is Pitt’s most prestigious. It is presented in recognition of outstanding and uncommon achievement in a profession and/or service to the community, college and/or PCC Alumni Association.
“PCC has produced more than 300,000 alumni since 1961, and we’re proud of what they’ve done to strengthen their communities and the workforce,” Bacon said. “We love hearing about their achievements, celebrating their successes, and sharing their inspirational stories with others.”
Bacon says nomination forms will be available on the PCC Foundation website starting Jan. 12 and will be accepted through Feb. 27 at 5 p.m. Descriptions of each award and eligibility requirements are also available within the “PCC Alumni Awards” section of the site.
Completed nomination forms may be submitted to the PCC Alumni Office, which is in Room 211A of the Eddie & Jo Allison Smith Center for Student Advancement on PCC’s main campus. They can also be returned via mail (PCC Alumni Association, P.O. Drawer 7007, Greenville, N.C. 27835) and email to pccalumni@my.pittcc.edu.
