The UFV Alumni Association is now accepting nominations for the 2014 Distinguished Alumni Awards. The traditional Distinguished Alumni Award will be conferred upon a graduate of the institution who has achieved outstanding distinction in career, educational achievement, or community service.
The second award, the Young Distinguished Alumni award, will go to a graduate of UFV who is 34 years of age or younger and who has achieved outstanding distinction in the above categories. Both awards recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of exceptional alumni.
Winners of these awards will join the ranks of past recipients including 2013 recipients Stu Chahal (BCIS ’05) and Evan Wiens (BSc ’06), Aboriginal sculptor and government advisor George Hemeon, (BA’04) and Young Distinguished Alumni Award winner Alex McAulay, (BBA ’07) and human rights and immigration lawyer, Shirzad Ahmed (UT ’92).
