Celebrate Alumni Achievement
Alumni Awards
Each year, the McMurry University Alumni Association celebrates alumni achievement at the Night of Distinction event, where we recognize alumni who are leading lives of distinction and who embody McMurry’s core values of Learning, Excellence, and Service.
Nominations for the 2024 Alumni Achievement Awards are now open.
The deadline for the 2024 Alumni Achievement Awards nomination submissions is December 31, 2023.
