Alumni award nomination form

The Columbia Journalism School Alumni Awards are highly prized because they represent recognition of excellence by one’s professional peers. The awards are given to alumni of the Graduate School of Journalism for a distinguished journalism career in any medium, for an outstanding single accomplishment in journalism, for notable contributions to journalism education, or for achievement in related fields. The awards are given annually at Alumni Weekend.

Alumni, faculty and staff of the Journalism School are encouraged to nominate living alumni currently working in journalism, journalism education or related fields who merit the award. Nominations can be submitted by mail or electronically.
