Distinguished Alumni Awards Recipients

The UFV Alumni Association celebrates graduates whose achievements, leadership and service have made a meaningful difference in their fields, communities and beyond.

The Distinguished Alumni Award honours alumni who have achieved outstanding distinction throughout their careers and lives. The Distinguished Emerging Alumni Award recognizes alumni who have made a meaningful impact within 10 years of receiving their most recent qualifying UFV credential.

The Young Distinguished Alumni Award concluded with its final recipient, Ethan Wiens, in 2026. Past recipients remain part of the award’s history and the lasting legacy of UFV alumni achievement.
