Alumni Awards

Recognising our extraordinary alumni

Do you know a graduate of ECU doing extraordinary things - either in their career, in the community or through their personal achievements? If so, please consider nominating them for an ECU Alumni Award!

Through this program, we aim to showcase and celebrate the wonderful things that ECU graduates go on to do after their time at university.

The ECU Alumni Awards are the opportunity to recognise graduates of ECU who are making an impact – locally, nationally or internationally. The Awards program has traditionally included the below four categories, and in 2025, a new category has been announced: the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Alumni Award.

You can see our previous winners through the menu on the left.

Nominations for this year’s round open 17 March and close 12 May 2025, with winners being announced at our special event Aluminate, on 30 October 2025. You can submit nominations NOW, using the below online forms.

For any enquiries, please contact Manager of Alumni Relations, Amy Hold.
