Meet the 2025 Distinguished Alumni Awards recipients.

Alumni Achievement Award

Acknowledges alumni who are a force for positive change in business or society. This can be as a part of a corporate community, as an entrepreneur, or as an individual whose life mission is to improve the lives of others or to protect or improve the environment.

Alumni Volunteering Award

Recognises alumni volunteers who share their time or resources to contribute to the school’s reputation, research, education, and student experience, or help promote alumni relations.

Force For Positive Change Award

Every year, we recognise alumni for their work in a different UN Sustainable Development Goal. This year, the award will acknowledge an alum who is initiating and leading action to encourage more sustainable cities and communities in line with SDG 11.
