OMAK/WENATCHEE - The Wenatchee Valley College Foundation is accepting nominations for the 2023 WVC Distinguished Alumni Award. Nominations must be submitted online by March 30..

Established in 1975, the purpose of the WVC Distinguished Alumni Award is to recognize an alum who has:

• made significant contributions to their community on a local, state, national or international level, and
• demonstrated integrity in their personal life and gained the respect of their peers.

To qualify for this award, the nominee must have attended WVC for a year or longer. A group of alumni may also be considered for the award, but all members must be alumni. Self-nominations are also permitted. Nominations can be submitted online at wvc.edu/Awards.
