Spears School accepting nominations

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – Oklahoma State University is accepting nominations for its annual Spears School of Business Hall of Fame and Outstanding Young Alumni Award.

The Hall of Fame banquet in November will recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves in their professional careers, displayed effective leadership, made exemplary contributions to their communities and freely given meritorious service to others.

Ken Eastman, dean of OSU’s Spears School of Business, says the event provides an opportunity to recognize graduates for their personal and professional success.

The Hall of Fame was initiated in 1964 to recognize OSU business graduates and friends of the school. In 2001, the Outstanding Young Alumni award was established to recognize alumni who have provided significant service and achievement early in their professional careers.

Nominations for both honors are due on Feb. 27.
