Alumni Awards
Each year we celebrate alumni who have contributed to the reputation of the school and distinguished themselves through leadership excellence and alumni service.
The President’s Award for ESMT Alumni Leadership Achievement goes to alumni who are recognized as successful entrepreneurial and responsible leaders in their field, or whose exemplary professional accomplishments have had a significant positive social or environmental change.
With the President’s Award for Alumni Service, we honor alumni who have made a valuable contribution by significantly giving back to the school’s community through proactive voluntary work or in other ways.
