To help celebrate its 50th anniversary, Community College of Allegheny County will honor 50 distinguished alumni at its gala Nov. 19, 2016.

Alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends of CCAC are encouraged to submit nominations on behalf of those who have made a lasting impact in their fields, their communities or on behalf of the college through their outstanding professional, voluntary or philanthropic accomplishments.

To be eligible, a nominee must have either received a degree, certificate or diploma from CCAC, or be a former student who completed any number of credits at the college before transferring to another institution. Posthumous awards also will be considered. The CCAC 50th anniversary distinguished alumni committee will select the winners.

Applications for qualified nominees who do not receive the award will be kept on file for two years for consideration for future recognition. Winners are expected to attend the gala.

Nomination forms can be obtained at https://ccac.edu/. Nomination forms, along with any supporting documentation, must be submitted by Dec. 31 to 50years@ccac.edu or mailed to Rose Ann DiCola, CEO, CCAC Educational Foundation, 808 Ridge Ave., Byers Hall 102, Pittsburgh, PA 15212.
