Tau Beta Pi Programs - Distinguished Alumnus

( .pdf of announcement bulletin)

The Tau Beta Pi Distinguished Alumnus Award Program was inaugurated in 1993 to recognize alumni who have continued to live up to the ideals of Tau Beta Pi as stated in our Eligibility Code and to foster a spirit of liberal culture throughout their lives after their college years. The program is an opportunity to mark in a fitting manner exemplary performance by alumni.

Any chapter or member of Tau Beta Pi may nominate one (or more) alumnus member(s) for the award. A nomination must be submitted by February 1. Selection is made by a committee of national officers. Download a Distinguished Alumnus nomination form.

Each winner receives a recognition plaque and is invited to the Convention and a $2,000 scholarship named in his or her honor is given to a student (since 2003).
