World Changing Alumni Award 2024
Nominations for the World Changing Alumni Award 2024 are now open!
The World Changing Alumni Award is an annual University of Glasgow honour that recognises recent grads who are making a meaningful contribution to their field.
A UofG alumni nominee could be yourself, a friend or a colleague. Your nominee (and that includes you!) might have run a campaign, built an organisation or led research.
If you admire someone’s drive, ambition and enthusiasm, or if you want to share your achievements and passion with your UofG community, then we want to hear from you!
The deadline is Monday 29 April 2024.
