WILMINGTON – Do you know someone who has made an outstanding contribution to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and the community?

The UNCW Alumni Association is seeking nominations of such individuals for its annual awards program. Two awards will be presented Feb. 7 at a formal dinner in the Warwick Center ballroom.

The Alumnus/Alumna of the Year Award is open to all men and women who attended and/or graduated from Wilmington College or UNCW. The Distinguished Citizen Award is open to anyone for notable service to the university and community.

The 2002 award recipients were James Stasios ’70 and Wayne Jackson.

Nominations can be made by writing a letter of recommendation to the association’s board of directors, specifying the award category and describing why you think the individual merits the award.
