Alumni & Friends > Awards

Alumni are nominated throughout the year and Thiel's Alumni Association Board then chooses several accomplished alums to honor at Homecoming each year. These distinguished alumni have truly made a mark in their professional lives, dedicated themselves to service in the world and demonstrated their love of Thiel College.
