Distinguished Alumni Award – This award honors graduates (more than 10 years post-graduation) who have made a lasting influence on society through outstanding professional, voluntary, and/or philanthropic accomplishments.
Service to the School Award – This new award honors an alumnus/a or friend of the school who has shown exceptional and unselfish dedication to the Trachtenberg School, expressed the mission of the school to others, and encouraged the support of alumni and/or students.
