In December, California State University, San Bernardino announced its annual Alumni Hall of Fame Awards to recognize the professional accomplishments and community service of distinguished alumni.

The alumni will be honored during a dinner and awards ceremony on April 10 from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Obershaw Dining Room, located in the university’s Alumni Center.

While three university-wide awards will recognize a Distinguished Alumnus, an Emerging Leader and a Coyote Spirit awardee, the Paw Print Awards will celebrate alumni from the university's five colleges for their exemplary accomplishments that embody the spirit of their academic college and discipline.

“It’s inspiring to see how our alumni carry forward the values and lessons shaped during their time at CSUSB,” said CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales. “The Paw Print Award recipients have each followed unique paths, yet they share a common purpose: to lead with integrity, serve their communities and make a lasting difference.”
