Nominate for Alumnus of the Year

5 June 2012

Alumnus of the Year 2011, Air Vice-Marshall Baz NorthStephen DixonHello.

I hope that, wherever you live, you've enjoyed some sort of festivities to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen.

Even if you're not an ardent royalist, it's sometimes nice just to mark an occasion and say well done to someone who's achieved a great deal.

It's a principle we try to employ every year at NTU with our Alumnus of the Year award. It recognises great work done by an Alumnus of Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham Polytechnic or one of the earlier institutions. It doesn't matter if it's one big event that stands out in a person's career or private life or whether it's the culmination of a lifetime of dedication and commitment.

We need YOU to nominate people for the award and you can get more information about that HERE.

People do well in so many different ways; sometimes in public life, sometimes in private and quiet ways, but it deserves to be recognised.

There is a deadline of 30 June 2012 so get clicking and make your nominations as soon as possible.

The recipient will be announced later in the year.

With all best wishes as always,

Stephen
