Sustained Excellence Award

Since its inception in 2013, this year’s winning program has become a signature tradition for the school, serving as a powerful platform to connect alumni, students, faculty, and staff through shared purpose and meaningful engagement. Held each fall and spring semester, this event has grown into an institution-wide initiative that has sustained success for twelve years and approximately 1,500 alumni and thousands of students have participated in an Impact Smeal Day event since its inception. Now a hallmark of this school’s experience, this successful program continues to embody sustained excellence in alumni engagement. Its longevity, adaptability, and institutional impact make it an exemplary initiative worthy of recognition.
