2022 Centurions Nominations
Northeastern State University announces 2022 Centurions
TAHLEQUAH — Northeastern State University has selected the individuals to be named as 2022 Centurions. Nominations have been received and reviewed, and the newest class will be honored as Centurions.
A Northeastern State University Centurion is an individual whose leadership and commitment, in the course of helping others, has made a significant impact during the university’s history. The honors are given to NSU alumni, faculty, staff, students or any member of the NSU community—whether past or present—who impacted the life of the nominator, the Northeastern community or the public at large. A Centurion can be living or deceased and should embody the legacy and spirit of NSU.
Since selecting 100 individuals as inaugural recipients of the Centurion Award during its Centennial Celebration in 2009, NSU has added up to 10 names to the Centurion list each year.
The newest NSU Centurions include:
- William “Bill” Bright (deceased), 1943 alumnus
