Members of the RSM community which consists of students, staff, faculty members, and alumni, can submit nominations in three categories.
After nominees are selected, alumni, staff, students, and friends of RSM can vote for the person they think most deserves to be recognised in each category. A separate panel of judges also votes for their preferred winner, with the final result based on both the jury and public vote combined.
Voting has now closed for the 2023 Distinguished Alumni Awards. The winners will be announced in December.
