Distinguished Alumni Awards

The Distinguished Alumni Awards recognise alumni who have significantly contributed to their communities and professions.

Our Distinguished Alumni are a rich and diverse pool of leaders and innovators who, through their outstanding accomplishments, have improved the lives of others and significantly contributed to their communities and professions.听

These are the contemporary and the legendary; the entrepreneurial and the humanitarian; the philosophical; the artistic and the technically talented. They are exemplars of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide success story and a great source of pride and inspiration.

Nominations for the 2025 Distinguished Alumni Awards will open mid-year, 2025.听
