Distinguished Alumni
Keyano College students are with us for a short time, but what they take away with them lasts a lifetime. We're so proud of all of our graduates. Our community of alumni are making waves and we want to recognize them.
You will have the opportunity to recognize one of your own with the Distinguished Alumni Award. Each year a Keyano alumni will receive this award, and will be a part of the Convocation celebrations.
2021 nominations
Nominations for the 2021 Distinguished Alumni Award are now open. To nominate an individual fill out this online form by March 6, 2021.
2020 Distinguished Alumni recipient
Due to the unusual circumstances that COVID-19 created, Keyano College did not choose a Distinguished Alumni for 2020 because we were unable to honour this achievement at our Convocation celebration.
