How to Works

The College of Nursing Hall of Fame Board of Directors solicits nominations for the Distinguished Alumni Award every year. Anyone may nominate. Nominators can be nurses, other healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations, Hall of Fame members, or any person. Inductees will be honored with a plaque at the annual spring Hall of Fame Ceremony hosted by the College of Nursing and the ECU Health Foundation. The awardee’s name will be added to the Distinguished Alumni list displayed at the College of Nursing. Distinguished Alumni are also recognized on the College of Nursing Hall of Fame web page. Monetary donations in support of a nominee are accepted, but not required. Such gifts support the merit-based Hall of Fame Scholarship only.

How to Nominate

All nominations are due by November 15th of each year. The CON Hall of Fame Board of Directors will review nominations and select a recipient who will be honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award at the Hall of Fame Ceremony. The selected recipient will be notified by Dean Akintade and the Hall of Fame Board Chair by the end of February.
