Highline Community College announced Tuesday (Feb. 14) that they are seeking nominations for the 2012 Distinguished Alumnus Award, which honors “former Highline students who have made significant contributions through community service, noteworthy professional achievement and/or recognized leadership.”

Past recipients have included Junki Yoshida, Founder and CEO of the Yoshida Food Group, Joan Enticknap, President and COO of Homestreet Bank, Highline’s own Dr. T.M. Sell, and last year’s winner Linda Yoshida.

The deadline to nominate is April 16, 2012.

Eligible nominees are former students who attended Highline prior to the 2007 academic year and have made a significant contribution through community service, noteworthy professional achievement and/or recognized leadership. Nominees will be asked to submit a resume and personal profile questionnaire for review by a campus selection committee. The personal profile form is at www.funds4highline.org under Alumni. The person selected will be recognized at commencement exercises on June 14, 2012.
