The iSchool Alumnus Chapter actively solicits nominations for our Alumnus of the Year Award. The main criterion required for the award is that nominees must have graduated from the College of Information Studies ten or more years prior to their nomination. We look for persons who have attained a major leadership role in the field, who have contributed significantly to the educational efforts in the field, or who can be considered a role model for other iSchool graduates--past, present, and future.

Please send nominations with biographical and supporting documentation to:
