local community, McMaster alumni impact the world with their innovation, creativity and
commitment to making a difference. The McMaster Alumni Association is asking you to
help celebrate the University's alumni and share their remarkable achievements with the
McMaster family. Nominate a McMaster graduate today for one of the following Alumni
Association awards:

Alumni Association constitution. Long-term loyalty and dedication are key ingredients
of these very special volunteers.

The three awards, along with the induction into the href=”http://www.mcmaster.ca/ua/alumni/programs_recognition_gallery.html”>Alumni Gallery, will be given out at an event on campus scheduled for Thursday, May 31 in
Convocation Hall, followed by dinner in the MUSC Donaldson Family Marketplace.

within the last three years.
