AMA Alumni Award

These medals are given annually to those who have performed special services for the AMA Alumni Association or for the AMA Alumni Foundation. Nominations are received from alumni and former faculty members, and a committee of alumni selects the recipients from those nominated.

The medal can be awarded to any person who has made a significant contribution in time and effort to support the AMA Alumni Association and its goals. Former students, faculty, administrators, and friends of AMA are eligible.

These award recipients have set the highest standards for the rest of us. They have been there consistently when they were needed. Each AMA man owes these wonderful awardees his profound thanks for taking us through some rough times to the bright future we now see for the AMA Alumni Association.

Thanks are due to Harry Campbell, ’70, for suggesting the creation of these medals in 1999.
