Each year the Outstanding Alumni Awards program honours, acknowledges and celebrates our graduates who have achieved significantly in their field of expertise since graduating at least two years prior with their first degree, recognising them for the impact they have had at a local, national and sometimes international level.
Nominations for the 2025 awards closed in August. We thank all nominators and nominees for their time and effort to participate in the awards. Award recipients will be announced later in the year.
The Awards presentation will be held at UniSC Sunshine Coast in November 2025.
