Congratulations to our Alumni of the Year

For the fourth year in a row, Jönköping University (JU) will give out the Alumni of the Year award during a ceremony held on Thursday 3 October. Executive Vice President Salem Seifeddine, together with a representative from each school, will hand out awards to the five Alumni of the Year 2024. The winners are revealed today.

JU's schools (the School of Health and Welfare, the School of Education and Communication, the School of Engineering, Jönköping International Business School and Jönköping University Enterprise) have during the year gathered nominations for the Alumni of the Year. The management of each school has then agreed on an alumnus (former student), who meets the criteria, who will receive the award during the ceremony on 3 October.

“This year's five award winners are not only inspiring role models for current and prospective JU students, but they are also powerful ambassadors who strengthen the ties between JU and society at regional, national and international levels. This award recognizes and rewards alumni who have made exceptional contributions, either in their professional role or as individuals. I am extremely proud of this year's five award winners, who are all brilliant ambassadors for JU,” says Salem Seifeddine, Executive Vice President at JU.

The ceremony

Salem Seifeddine will moderate the ceremony. A representative from each school will read the motivation and award the prize to “their” alumnus. This will be followed by a panel discussion led by Andreas Torén, Head of Student Counselling, where the alumni will talk about their experiences at the university, their professional lives, and give some tips to current students. The audience can also ask questions to the alumni.

JU welcomes everyone to the ceremony.
