Mansfield University Home PageIn 1987 the Mansfield University Music Department established an Alumni Honor Roll. Under the chairpersonship of Donald Stanley a committee of retired faculty members received nominations and elected to membership those alumni whose accomplishments in the field of music were considered outstanding. Alumni who had been graduated from the Music Department for at least ten years were eligible for consideration. The committee reviewed resumes for a five year period considering each alumnus on anniversary years. Additional graduates are considered yearly.
The purpose of the alumni honor roll is threefold: to recognize those individuals who, through their talent and dedication, have made contributions to the music profession; to provide the University with an opportunity to express to them our appreciation for the recognition they have brought to their alma mater; to provide examples and inspiration for present students.
Each of the recipients received a certificate which read: "IN RECOGNITION OF DISTINGUISHED ACHIEVEMENT IN THE PROFESSION OF MUSIC AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE HERITAGE AND TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE AT MANSFIELD UNIVERSITY."
Presently nominations are received annually and considered this honor by a committee of faculty appointed by the departmental chairperson.
