Imperial Valley Campus Alumni

SDSU’s Monty Awards

The “Monty Award” is a time-honored tradition at San Diego State University (SDSU). This award is a symbol of achievement and success presented to outstanding faculty and distinguished alumni from each of SDSU's seven academic colleges, including the Imperial Valley Campus. In addition, distinguished service awards are given to an exceptional alumni volunteer and an outstanding university employee. The Monty Awards honors those who have made significant contributions to SDSU, the San Diego (Imperial County) community or California, nationally or internationally. Alumni awardees are recognized at an annual gala event. Faculty awardees are recognized at the University Convocation. The past awardees of distinction presented by the SDSU Alumni Association for faculty and alumni at SDSU-IVCampus are:
