A Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award is the highest award that an individual can receive from the NSU Alumni Association. The purpose of the award is to recognize alumni who are changing lives and changing the world by demonstrating a record of distinguished service and extraordinary achievement in a particular professional, discipline, organization or community cause. These awards pay tribute to alumni who have made outstanding contributions to their professions and/or community, have great pride for their alma mater, and are committed to advancing the values and goals of NSU.

The College of Computing and Engineering honors our Distinguished Alumni Honorees for their professional and academic achievements as well as their selfless dedication and contributions to communities world-wide.
