Alumni Hall of Fame

We recognise your success

The CBE Alumni Hall of Fame Awards recognise the achievements of our alumni. Held every two years, the awards are an opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments of our alumni who have made significant societal impacts.

In 2019, we announced recipients in two categories:

»    Distinguished Alumni award 

This award is the most prestigious award by the College to a member of the CBE alumni community. Nominees for this category must be recognised as alumni of CBE, have completed a postgraduate or undergraduate degree at the University, and demonstrated significant contributions and support to developing the College and its future students.

»    Young Alumni award 

This award is presented to outstanding individuals 35 years of age or younger. Nominees for this category must be recognised as alumni of CBE and have completed a postgraduate or undergraduate degree at the University. They must be actively engaged with CBE and demonstrate continued support to the College and its future students.

Please forward any enquiries to alumni.cbe@anu.edu.au


Nominations for the CBE Alumni Hall of Fame Awards 2021 are currently being considered.
