Recipients of these awards embody our four pillars of alumni engagement: community, philanthropy, volunteering and lifelong learning.
This means that when reviewing nominations, the selection committee will take into special consideration those alumni who exemplify and consistently engage in supporting their communities through networking, philanthropy, volunteering and a demonstrated passion for learning.
