The North-West University (NWU) continues to take pride in the remarkable achievements of alumni who actively make impactful and valuable contributions in all spheres of society – both locally and internationally.
Do you know an NWU graduate who exemplifies excellence in their field? Whether you are an alumnus, staff member or stakeholder, now is the perfect opportunity to put forward a name that deserves to be honoured. Nominations are open for the university’s most prestigious recognition of alumni achievement – the Biennial Alumni Excellence Awards. Nominations close on 8 August.
Your nomination might just be one of the cream of the crop of NWU alumni who will be celebrated during the ninth biennial awards ceremony, which will take place later this year.
These sought-after accolades recognise alumni who not only make significant contributions to their communities but also remain deeply committed to the values of the NWU. These individuals are ambassadors of excellence who uphold the university’s reputation as a globally respected institution.
The honour roll of previous recipients includes prominent and revered figures from all spheres of South African and international society. These illustrious recipients include, among others, Prof TT Cloete, Judge Frans Kgomo, Prof Dan Kgwadi, Prof Anis Karodia, Deon Meyer, Dr Alistair Mokoena, Judge Bess Nkabinde, Prof Bismark Tyobeka, Prof Tjaart van der Walt and Sunette Viljoen.
Nominations are welcomed across nine categories: arts and culture, business leadership, community involvement, education, public service, research, sport, the Young Alumni Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award. Nominations can be submitted electronically at www.nwu.ac.za/alumni-awards-nomination. For more information, email Nicolize van der Walt at nicolize.vanderwalt@nwu.ac.za.
