The University of Alaska Fairbanks, in partnership with the nonprofit TV Alumni Association,
is seeking nominations for the Distinguished Alumnus Award and William R. Cashen Service
Award.
Honorees are selected by a committee of alumni, past recipients and members of TV’s
leadership team. Both awards will be presented on Feb. 6, 2021, at the Blue and Gold
Celebration, TV’s signature event honoring donors, faculty and alumni. The event
will be held online this year.
The Distinguished Alumnus Award was first presented in 1962 and continues to recognize
living graduates of TV. One alumnus or alumna is selected for the award annually
based on specific meritorious service on behalf of TV, distinguished accomplishments
in business and professional life, and distinguished human service in community affairs.
Only TV alumni are eligible to receive the honor, but anyone can nominate.
The William R. Cashen Service Award is named after the late Willam R. “Bill” Cashen,
a member of the class of 1937 and a former alumni director, professor and public servant.
Cashen, the author of “Farthest North College President,” set an example for service
to the university and its alumni association. This award is designed to inspire all
those associated with TV. Alumni and nonalumni alike qualify for the award.
Nominations will be accepted until Nov. 30, 2020. Nomination forms may be submitted
online at .
