The Alumni Association’s Highest Honor

Each semester, the NMSU Alumni Association recognizes graduating seniors from each academic college, plus a master’s and a doctoral student, to receive the Outstanding Graduate Award.

This is the NMSU Alumni Association’s highest honor for students. Awardees are selected by their college deans and a committee within their respective colleges or the Graduate School. The recognition celebrates exceptional academic achievements, demonstrated leadership skills, and a strong commitment to the university and community through volunteerism.
