The College of Business is now accepting nominations for the Early Career Achievement Awards (ECAA).
The awards recognize younger graduates who have demonstrated innovative and responsible professional leadership, the potential for future distinction, and a commitment to serving others. One honoree is selected from each degree program.
The award recipients return to campus to receive their award and share advice with current students through panel discussions during Homecoming at Illinois State University.
