Alumni Achievement Awards

About the awards

In 1998, Toronto Metropolitan University, formerly known as Ryerson University, celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding and its fifth as a university. This occasion provided a special opportunity to create the Alumni Achievement Awards to recognize the superior calibre of alumni. Our alumni have carried forward with them the strength of our programs, which are distinguished by Toronto Metropolitan University’s view that theory and professional practice are partners in the education process.

Recognition of the recipients will be at an annual Alumni Achievement Awards ceremony. Recipients will be honoured with a video bio and a certificate at a reception for their friends and family. All recipients will have a plaque with a photo and bio mounted on the Alumni Hall of Fame on campus.

The University reserves the right, in its discretion, to revoke an award granted to a recipient should circumstances arise that, in its opinion, could unfavourably impact the reputation and/or image of the University. 

Once awarded, an Alumni Achievement Award may be revoked if Toronto Metropolitan University determines that association with the recipient may call into question the integrity or reputation of the University.
