June 12, 2023 (WASHINGTON)- The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities announced today that nominations are being accepted for the 2024 CCCU Young Alumni Award. This award recognizes an individual who has achieved uncommon leadership or success in a way that reflects the values of Christian higher education.  

“The Young Alumni Award gives the CCCU the opportunity to learn about and highlight some of the boldest and brightest minds to have been formed by our institutions,” says CCCU President Shirley V. Hoogstra. “These alumni have made significant contributions in their respective fields. When we publicly honor them, we tell the story of Christian higher education for the current generation.”  

Nominees are highlighted on the CCCU’s social media channels throughout the month of October as part of the celebration of Christian higher education month. The winner will be selected via external and internal committee reviews and honored during a ceremony at the upcoming 2024 President’s Conference.
