Every year, one alumnus or alumna is chosen from each of the University’s eight academic schools and colleges, the Department of Athletics, the Henry Madden Library, the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, and the Division of Research and Graduate Studies to receive a Top Dog Outstanding Alumni Award.

The Outstanding Alumni Award recognizes Fresno State alumni for exceptional accomplishments in their field(s). This year we are excited to celebrate three awardees from our campus family:

Debbie Adishian-Astone (1988, ’94), vice president for administration and chief financial officer, Craig School of Business honoree. Read her bio here.

Retired faculty member Elizabeth Shields and the late John Shields, professor emeritus, Arthur Safstrom Service Award. Read their bio here.

Please tune into ABC30 to watch the Top Dog Alumni Awards at 7 p.m. (PST) Sunday, April 18. It will also be streamed for those outside the Fresno area.
