The University is proud of its alumni community and seeks to honour their efforts by acknowledging their achievements publicly.  UQ coordinates a number of annual awards to recognise alumni excellence and also supports other national and international awards that highlight the efforts of UQ alumni in the global community. 

The University of Queensland Alumnus of the Year Awards are presented to notable alumni, in both Australia and overseas, who have made outstanding contributions to their community, have stimulated new ideas or innovations, and have demonstrated dedication, creativity or leadership to their field of expertise. The awards are a celebration of alumni achievement and demonstrate what can be achieved with a UQ education.

Previous recipients of the Alumnus of the Year, Young Alumnus of the Year and International Alumnus of the Year awards reflect the diverse quality of the contributions UQ alumni have made to the enrichment of our society.
