Award Information
The Distinguished Alumni of the Year award is presented to an alumnus who has made worthy contributions in many areas of life, particularly in the areas of the “Three C’s,” which are college, church, and community. This award is intended to recognize alumni who exemplify the values King University upholds: Christian faith, service, career, and scholarship.
King is blessed to have numerous families who have sent more than one student to King. Established in 2009, the Legacy Award recognizes their commitment to King and their lifetime of service, achievement, and commitment to King’s mission and vision.
The Young Alumni Achievement Award recognizes those 40 or younger who have made outstanding professional contributions in their field and shown a strong commitment to serving others.
The Volunteer of the Year Award celebrates alumni who generously dedicate their time and talents to advance King’s mission and strengthen our community. We proudly recognize those who serve both within and beyond King, making an extraordinary impact wherever they go.
The Christian Service Award is our newest alumni award, established in 2020. It honors alumni of King who have dedicated their lives in full-time service to fulfill the commission of Jesus Christ, as found in the gospels.
