On Friday, October 15th, I will be attending the Alumni Awards Ceremony at Carnegie Mellon University where I will receive the Young Alumni Award for 2004. The award is described on the CMU Alumni Awards website as:
“Young Alumni” are defined as those alumni who have graduated, with their bachelor’s degree between 1994 and 2004. The award will be granted to an individual who has either attained exceptional accomplishment in the nominee’s chosen occupation or for distinguished service that brings honor to the recipient and the university during the first 10 years following the receipt of their bachelor’s degree. The contribution of service need not bring public acclaim, but may consist of important creative effort in organization and development having social or educational value. The Young Alumni Award need not be presented each year.
