AWARDS
Alumni Awards Program
For more than 90 years UBC alumni have embodied the vital role their
university plays in society. From among their ranks have come the artists and
researchers, the civic leaders and sporting heroes, the activists, volunteers
and business gurus whose spirit, innovation and passion have had such
positive impact on UBC, their communities and beyond.
The annual Alumni Achievement Awards present an opportunity to recognize
some of these outstanding, yet often modest, men and women for their
accomplishments. The example they set should be applauded and encouraged.
But in order to identify these people we need your help, and we’re counting
on you to bring deserving alumni to our attention. If you know an extraordinary
grad with a remarkable record, demonstrate your respect and appreciation
by nominating them for an award.
(Please note that two of the awards – honouring outstanding students and
faculty members – do not require alumni status.)
