Alumni Recognition Program
McHenry County College is proud of its graduates and their accomplishments. We’ve piloted our Alumni Recognition Program to acknowledge our alumni and celebrate the role MCC has played in their success.
Do you know an alum who is making a difference, giving back to the community or who has overcome hardship to earn a degree? MCC sponsors three alumni awards, the Career Distinction award PDF, the Excellence in Community Service award PDF and the Triumph award PDF. Each award focuses on a different achievement.
Nomination Requirements
Applications are accepted at all times. Nominations must be submitted to the Friends of MCC Foundation/Alumni Office for consideration. At this time, only graduates of a certificate or a degree program are eligible for nomination.
All award nominations must include a letter of support, different from nominator, endorsing nominee’s recommendation. The following support materials must also be submitted:
- A completed MCC nomination form (all sections must be answered as completely as possible).
- A brief biographical sketch of the nominee (up to two pages)
- At least one letter of recommendation (from employers, civic leaders, colleagues or family)
A brief statement (up to 500 words) describing how the nominee's life has been shaped by a community college education may also be included in the application.
Please make sure all request support material is included with your application. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the DISQUALIFICATION of a nomination.
Because the names of many deserving nominees are received each year, you are encouraged to re-submit the names and qualifications of former nominees for consideration. All nominees received by the deadline date with completed applications will be considered for awards at the local, state and/or national level.
We support the Illinois Community College Trustees Association (ICCTA) and the American Association of Community College (AACC) awards.
