Volunteer Leadership Awards
Alumni Volunteer Leaders
The Alumni Association Network Awards are the platform to recognize the accomplishments of one another on a large scale.
Winners of the awards will be recognized at the annual awards ceremony, as well as through email digests, on our website, The Shell, alumni blogs features, social media, future regional events, and a digital banner for network signatures.
Each year, the Alumni Association will holds its annual Network Awards ceremony during the Volunteer Leadership Conference, to recognize the outstanding achievements of the academic, affinity and regional networks over the past year. Our networks and volunteers work tirelessly throughout the year, planning engagement opportunities for fellow alumni.
