The deadline for 2012 awards is October 15, 2011. 

“Pay it Forward” - Service Award recognizes service by a Walton College graduate who helps to build and sustain the alumni and student network. Service is defined as meaningful commitment of one’s time and talent by actively engaging (either locally or remotely) in Walton College programs and initiatives. Examples include helping students find jobs and internships, participating in and promoting alumni events and activities, volunteering for one of the many Walton College departments, centers or advisory boards.

Entrepreneur of the Year recognizes a Walton College graduate who has proven innovative and successful in a business venture of his/her own creation or reinvention. Preference is given to entrepreneurs who have been in business for at least five years. However, consideration will also be given to emerging entrepreneurs who exhibit the business acumen, drive and dedication essential to long-term success.

Lifetime Achievement is reserved for a Walton College graduate who has made significant achievements in his/her career and is recognized as an industry and community leader. This individual exemplifies the core values of the Walton College, inspires students, and is a source of pride for his/her alma mater.  This award will not necessarily be presented every year and will only be bestowed as deemed appropriate by the Awards Committee based on the pool of candidates.

Walton College Commencement Speaker is a special honor bestowed upon an individual to address the graduates and academic community of the Walton College. The speaker may or may not be a Walton College or University graduate but will be someone who has made significant achievements in his/her career, is recognized as an industry and community leader, and exemplifies the core values of the Walton College. He/she should be a source of inspiration to students and a proven public speaker.
