About the Award
Established in 1972, the Sacramento State Alumni Association has annually presented the Distinguished Service Award Dinner to honor outstanding alumni. The awards are given jointly by the University and the Alumni Association to recognize alumni for their professional achievements and community service. Nominations are accepted from all University constituencies throughout the year. Nominees must have achieved prominence in their fields of endeavor and brought distinction to the University and/or community through their individual accomplishments. Occasionally, the Honorary Alumni Award is given to an individual who has rendered exceptional support and services to the University.
