Since 1980, the University of Sydney Alumni Awards have recognised over 200 alumni for their outstanding leadership achievements. These exceptional alumni come from all walks of life and demonstrate a commitment to empowering progress in their communities through their local, national, and international contributions.
Alumni Award nominations can be submitted by peers, colleagues, friends and family of alumni – if you know an alum who is outstanding in their field, you can nominate them for an award.
