Alumni Awards Ceremony

The Alumni Awards Ceremony is an annual event to honor the Department's alumni with significant career achievements. Each year, alumni who are particularly respected as leaders in their industry and communities are awarded the Distinguished Achievement Award. The Young Achievement Award recognizes alumni who have graduated in the past 15 years and have professional distinction.

Graduate student fellows and winners from the Graduate Research Symposium, which occurs earlier that day, are also honored during the event.
