For many, the road to lifetime achievement started at Central New Mexico Community College. The CNM Foundation established the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2002 to highlight the outstanding accomplishments of our graduates. This prestigious award serves to recognize CNM alumni who have attained significant distinction in his or her professional field or life which reflects the mission and values of CNM.
Nominations are accepted each year to the CNM Foundation and the Distinguished Alumni Award is presented at the annual Donor Appreciation Dinner. If you would like to nominate an individual for this award, please contact the CNM Foundation at (505) 224-4685.
