We invite you to help us continue the tradition of recognizing the many outstanding accomplishments of University of Alberta alumni by nominating alumni who have made a difference. The 2012 nomination information will be available in late-October.
Going into its 17th year, the Awards program has honoured more than 350 alumni who have distinguished themselves — and their alma mater — through their contributions to their profession and the community at large. View the 2011 Awards program.
