The Sheth Distinguished Alumni Award, established in 2002 by a generous gift from Madhu and Jagdish Sheth, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Marketing, recognizes Emory University's alumni who have distinguished themselves in service to universities, governments, private sector firms, and/or non-governmental organizations.
Criteria
Nominees should be alumni who have made exceptional contributions to global and international engagement. Recipients of the award will be selected based on the following:
- Must be an individual who has helped the world through outstanding contributions to humanity, science, art or human welfare that demonstrate the value of global and international engagement;
- Highly distinguished in his/her business, profession or life's work;
- Must be of such stature and fame that students, faculty, staff and alumni of Emory University will take pride in and be inspired by his/her recognition; and
- Must be an individual who in deed or action reflects the importance of his/her education at Emory University.
Recipients of the award are chosen by a selection committee appointed by the Vice Provost for Global Engagement. Nominations remain in the pool for two awards cycles, though letters refreshing the nomination are welcomed.
