Honoring Excellence, Inspiring Futures

We take immense pride in celebrating the extraordinary accomplishments of our alumni who are making a difference in their fields and communities. Each year, we present two prestigious awards: the Distinguished Alumni Award, honoring those whose lifelong contributions have left a lasting impact, and the Outstanding Recent Alumni Award, recognizing the innovative achievements of our younger graduates who are already shaping the future.

These awards not only highlight individual excellence but also inspire current students and fellow alumni to pursue their passions. Join us in exploring the inspiring stories of our award recipients, who exemplify the spirit of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) and carry on as beacons of motivation for all. Together, let’s celebrate their remarkable journeys and the positive change they continue to foster in the world!
