The Outstanding Alumni Awards are an opportunity to celebrate the incredible achievements of our global alumni community and showcase the value of a degree from the University of Southampton.
We are delighted to announce that the nominations for the 2025 Outstanding Alumni Awards are now open.
There are five award categories as follows:
- The Rising Star Award
- The Outstanding Contribution Award
- The Lifetime Achievement Award
- The Civic Award
- The Alumni Service Award
Please submit your nominations here by Friday 7 February.
This is an opportunity for staff to shine a light on outstanding individuals whose stories we may not have previously shared with our wider community.
Winners will be invited to speak at graduation, providing an opportunity to address and inspire our graduating students. They will also be invited to attend the Vice-Chancellor’s Celebration Dinner in July and their stories will be promoted through our alumni channels.

“It is wonderful to see the launch of the Outstanding Alumni Awards, which celebrate all our alumni across the different stages of their career journey. I strongly encourage colleagues to nominate alumni whose influence and work serve as a testament to the calibre of people within our community.”
