The Worcester Educational Development Foundation is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the annual Distinguished Alumni of the Worcester Public Schools awards!
This is a very special edition of the Distinguished Alumni Awards, as it’s the 10th anniversary of the program. The program was established in 2011 by WEDF to honor and recognize alumni of Worcester Public Schools who:
- Have made exemplary contributions to their professional fields, the Worcester community, Worcester Public Schools and/or the betterment of society
- Serve as outstanding role models for current Worcester Public Schools students
- Have achieved outstanding success in academics, the arts, community service, business, humanitarian efforts, research and various other fields
This year’s ceremony is scheduled for October 28, 2021 at a banquet held to honor the awardees.
If you know of any alumni who meet the above criteria, we strongly encourage you to submit their names to the Foundation. Online and printable nomination forms are available here.
In addition to filling out the basic information about the alumnus, be sure to include a one-page biographical narrative describing your nominee’s accomplishments and why you’re nominating them. Supplementary documents such as newspaper articles about their accomplishments and resumes are also helpful in the review process.
Further instructions are available on the nomination form.
We look forward to seeing this year’s nominees, and selecting the next class of Distinguished Alumni! Be sure to spread the word!
