Award selections are made by members of the Alumni Awards Committee, one of the Alumni Council committees. The list of selections then goes to the Alumni Council for final approval.

Nominations are considered for two years. Nominators are responsible for providing any new information for the second year, as needed.

Selecting Alumni Award Recipients

Many factors go into the final decision. Reviewing all nominations received, the Alumni Awards Committee is committed to selecting the most worthy recipients, while ensuring the Alumni Awards represent the diversity of achievements and contributions by 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø graduates.

The committee makes selections between January and April. Nominees selected to receive an Alumni Award will be contacted by phone or email in May, at which point they are asked if they would like to accept the award. Successful nominators will be contacted via email. If a nominee is not selected to receive an Alumni Award, only the nominator will be contacted. We do not contact supporters.

Recognizing Recipients

The list of recipients is announced on the Alumni Relations website in September, and the Alumni Awards are presented at a ceremony in October. Recipients are also recognized in online and print issues of New Trail.

Distinguished Alumni Award recipients are the subject of a video mini-biography, debuted at the awards ceremony and have an opportunity to make an acceptance speech at the ceremony. They are also honoured with a plaque on the Alumni Wall of Recognition, located in the Students' Union Building.
