Established in 1963, the Faculty of Science has nurtured generations of graduates who excel in a diverse range of professions. To recognize science alumni who have made great contribution to the Faculty’s career development, the Outstanding Alumni Service Award has been launched since 2020.
Nominations of prospective awardee must be made by the respective academic unit to the Science Faculty Office no later than 31 October each year. All nominations will then be considered by the Committee on Career Development for Science Students and results will be announced in December of that year.
