Each year during alumni weekend, the College recognizes alumni for outstanding career achievement and/or distinguished service to Lake Erie College. The recipients are selected by the National Alumni Board, which reviews recommendations submitted by alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the College.​

​​

NAB Distinguished Alumni and Distinguished Young Alumni Award Criteria:

The young alum recipient must be under the age of 40.

Both awards recognize an alum for their outstanding career achievements.

An outstanding career achievement refers to a significant accomplishment in a person’s professional life that demonstrates excellence, leadership, and a lasting impact in their field. This could include groundbreaking work, major contributions to their industry, exceptional leadership, or long-term dedication that results in meaningful progress or innovation.

Distinguished service reflects a commitment that goes beyond normal expectations, showcasing leadership, selflessness, and a lasting positive impact. This could include volunteer work, mentorship, advocacy, or efforts that significantly benefit others over time. Service work is not limited to Lake Erie College; it can also be done in other contexts.

Both honors celebrate individuals who have gone above and beyond in their professional and service-related endeavors, leaving a meaningful legacy. All applications are reviewed based solely on career achievements or service contributions.

​

The Debra Blanchard Remington '74 Service Award was created in 2021 to honor the retirement of legendary Alumni Director, Deb Remington '74. The award is presented annually to an alum and is intended to honor those who serve tenaciously in the interest of Lake Erie College. The award recognizes service and enthusiastic participation in alumni relations, faithful effort in maintaining class and/or alumni organizations, and efforts to expand the influence and prestige of Lake Erie College.
