The Spoon River College Alumni Association has announced that its annual alumni awards dinner and reception will be held Saturday, November 8 at 5 p.m. at the SRC Canton Campus in Centers, lower-level.
Traditionally, awards such as the Alumni Achievement Award, the Outstanding Service Award, the Distinguished Retiree Award, the Distinguished Friend of SRC Award, and the Distinguished Alumni Award have been given at the reception, in addition to individuals or teams being inducted into the SRC Athletic Hall of Fame. 2024 award recipients included Stan Ransom, Sonnie Meredith, and James Bixby (posthumously). Steve Lance and Miranda Aguilar were inducted into the SRC Athletic Hall of Fame.
“Recognizing someone with a nomination for the SRC Alumni Association Awards is more than just a gesture—it’s a way to celebrate their impact, inspire others, and shine a light on the difference one person can make through dedication, leadership, and community service,” said Michelle Howe, alumni coordinator.
Anyone who has attended classes at CCC/SRC can be nominated for these awards, and the nominee does not need to be a graduate. Nomination forms are available on the Spoon River College website at Alumni Awards page , or by calling (309) 649-6348. Completed nominations are due by September 1.
The event is free and open to the public – especially Canton Community College and SRC alumni. Donations to the Spoon River College Foundation will be accepted and appreciated.
