Alumni Awards
Prior to 1998, Franklin University presented one award, the Alumnus of the Year Award, given to alumni for exemplary support or service. Until 2004, two awards were presented to alumni to recognize individuals for their contributions for the betterment of the University. The awards were the Alumni Service Award and the Alumni Leadership Award.
Alumni Service Award: This Award was given to an alumnus in recognition of a sustained pattern of service, contributions and support for the benefit of Franklin University.
Alumni Leadership Award: This award was presented to an alumnus who has brought pride and recognition to the University by having achieved prominence in his or her profession on a regional, national or international level.
