KVCC Distinguished Alumni Award

Each year, Kennebec Valley Community College honors an alumnus who has demonstrated excellence in their profession and shown dedication to their community by upholding KVCC’s shared values of responsibility, integrity, and respect.

Please think about individuals who have graduated from your program, have grown as leaders in your business or organization, or who serve you and the greater community through service and professionalism. Think about how these individuals have touched and changed lives, inspired true leadership, and/or have provided exceptional business or industry practices. Where would this community be without the Emergency Medical Responders, Nurses, Medical Professionals, Early Childhood Educators, Mental Health workers, Business professionals, Accountants, Entrepreneurs, Lineworkers, Machinists, Electricians, and Computer experts which have graduated from Kennebec Valley Community College?

Please take the time to nominate one, or more, KVCC alumni to be considered for the Kennebec Valley Community College Distinguished Alumni Award. The selected award recipient will be honored at Commencement.
