Alumni Awards
Recognising outstanding contributions
In our 50th anniversary year, we were delighted to announce the launch of the Burgmann College Alumni Awards.
Our Alumni Awards are designed to:
- Recognise, encourage and reward alumni excellence, for endeavours both inside and outside the College community, at different levels of accomplishment and life stages, and;
- Recognise our outstanding volunteers and staff for their commitment to the Burgmann community.
Note: these Awards are additional to the existing Honorary Fellowship, which remains the highest Burgmann honour.
The Award Categories are:
- Distinguished Alumni Award: for alumni aged 35+, recognising outstanding achievement, locally, nationally and/or internationally;
- Outstanding Alumni Award: for younger alumni (under age 35), recognising outstanding achievement, locally, nationally and/or internationally;
- Burgmann Volunteer Award, recognising the outstanding contribution of a volunteer to the activities of Burgmann College within the previous calendar year (i.e. Members of Council or Committees, BCAA Executive Committee member, Chapter Chair/Representative, communications/event support, etc.);
- Staff Recognition Award, recognising the dedicated service or outstanding contribution of any current or former member of the Burgmann College staff.
