Future Alumni Leader Award

The Future Alumni Leader Award was established in 1998 to give campus divisions, academic departments and schools the opportunity to recognize one student for outstanding service to Illinois State University and who demonstrates potential as an alumni leader. The Future Alumni Leader award grew out of discussions with the academic community and is not intended to duplicate or compete with recognition for academic excellence. It is based on the premise that students who are highly involved in service efforts will continue their commitment to service after graduation and will become alumni leaders.
