<p>I’ll check into where that description came from (it looks like that one is from the Registrar and from 1995?). From what I understand, the Outreach Office passes on the names of students who meet the criteria and a committee in the Alumni Association selects the winners.</p>

<p>Give Valerie Gregory in Outreach a call on Monday and I’m sure she’ll be able to tell you the timeline.
