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

“This world demands the qualities of youth; not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease.”
- Robert F Kennedy

Simon Grant

Bachelor of Science 1986, Bachelor of Economics (Hons) 1986

“I have been very fortunate to have been mentored by some great economists, but the most important advice I received was from one of my ANU professors who told me to have confidence in my own judgement and to understand that for the most significant decisions you make, you should strive to be true to yourself rather than pander to the wishes and expectations of others.”

George J. Mailath

Bachelor of Economics (Hons) 1980

“As an academic, my aim is to work on research that is both significant and intellectually stimulating. Significant research advances economics as a science; there are important open questions, and as a social science, economics affects peoples lives.  I also want my students to do the same, and so I constantly challenge them to do the best work that they can.”
