2025 Luminary Award Winner Jerry Crist, PhD: Send Us Your 2026 Nominations

Is there a faculty member, staff member, or administrator at Lawrence Technological University who brought out the best in you? Someone who helped you recognize or even surpass your own abilities or encouraged you to pursue a dream?

We celebrated the impact of Jerry Crist, PhD, at the 2025 LTU Scholarship Gala by honoring his legacy with a Luminary Award. Crist served as an inspiration for countless LTU students during his 30+ years at LTU.

Watch this video to learn more about his profound impact on so many.

We’d love to honor another deserving member of the LTU community at next year’s gala. Please send an email to alumni@ltu.edu with the name of an LTU individual who made a difference in your life and a brief explanation of their impact. We can’t wait to see who encouraged you to be your best.
