The SRC Alumni Association exists as a function of the SRC Foundation and seeks to close the gap between past alumni, present students and future leaders.  SRC alumni need not be graduates.  Those who were nominated but not selected this year will remain in consideration for future years.  To learn more about the SRC Alumni Association, to register as an alumnus/alumna, or to nominate someone for a future award, please visit http://www.src.edu/alumni or call (309) 649-6348.
