Nominations for Awards

Recognize Outstanding Volunteer Service

The Alumni Association presents several annual awards to recognize, honor, and reward outstanding accomplishment and service to the Alumni Association and MIT.

Every year at this time, we invite volunteers and staff to submit nominations for these awards. Volunteers give so much of their time, talent, and treasure to MIT and the Alumni Association, and by doing so, they allow this great institution to be one of the best in the world. Help us recognize their extraordinary contributions.

Please use the form below and submit your nomination(s) by November 20, 2009 for consideration for the 2010 awards. Self-nominations are also welcome.

The Bronze Beaver Award is the highest honor the Association can bestow upon any alumni volunteer. It is given to recognize distinguished service to the Alumni Association and/or the Institute.


The Kane Award is given in recognition of exceptional service and accomplishments in the area of fundraising for the Institute.


The Lobdell Award is given in recognition of alumni relations service of special depth over a sustained period.


The Morgan Award recognizes sustained excellence in all aspects of Educational Council activity. This includes dedication to MIT, an abiding concern for the interests of prospective students, and exceptional standards of achievement and professionalism in meeting Council responsibilities.


The Presidential Citation recognizes distinguished service to the Alumni Association and MIT by alumni organizations. Like the Bronze Beaver for individuals, this award is given to groups in recognition of distinguished service to the Institute or the Association.


The constitution of the Alumni Association states, "anyone who has rendered outstanding service to the Association or the Institute" may be elected to Honorary Membership. This includes any present or former member of the Corporation, any present or former officer of administration or instructor on the staff of the Institute, as well as their spouses.

Please explain why you believe this candidate should receive this award by writing a nomination statement in the box provided below.

Writing a statement to support your nomination is very important. Keep in mind that this is a highly selective process and each nomination statement is very important. Your nomination statement should support the criteria for a particular award, include your knowledge of the nominee's volunteer work for MIT, and cite specific successes or impacts on Association and/or MIT activities.


The Awards Committee will be provided with the volunteer record for all individual nominees. Your nomination statement should serve to personalize that record, citing why this individual or group qualifies for the Association's highest form of recognition.
