2008 Alumni Awards Recipients Alumnus of the Year Church Service Award Community Service Award The Bettye Quinn Education Award The Jim Park Business Award |
In 1962 the Alumni Association established the Alumnus of the year Award as a method of honoring fellow Alumni who have brought distinction to themselves and to their Alma mater through outstanding service to the community, state, or nation; or through creativity in their vocation or avocation.
In years following, several awards were added: Community Service Award, Church Service Award, Young Alumnus of the Year, and The Bettye Quinn Education Award. The wide range of areas of distinction represented by the award recipients exemplifies the importance of the basic qualities of excellence, which Belhaven has historically attempted to represent.
