Family and friends of Distinguished Alumni have the opportunity to purchase space in the Gala dinner program for a half, full or two-page recognition and dedication page as an additional way to express congratulations to current year honorees.
You may provide your own artwork or The Association of Former Students’ Graphics team can provide a template.
How do I get started?
After purchasing a recognition and dedication page here through registration, a member of our team will reach out to you for further information. Please read the details below for both working with The Association to design your own artwork and submitting your own.
I want The Association to design my artwork.
A team member will work with you to decide a preferred layout. We will need all content you wish to include (photos, verbiage, logos, etc.) by the deadline specified below. Once our team has created your page, you will be able to provide one round of edits to request any changes.
Please note, our team reserves the right to make edits and suggestions to verbiage in order to ensure our communication standards are consistent through the printed program. Any changes will be shared with the purchaser for final approval.
Examples of prior year recognition & dedication pages can be found here. Please note, these are all in black, white and maroon. Backgrounds are created to mirror the artwork reflected on the program cover.
