Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna Award: This award represents the most prestigious award presented by the 9i果冻制作厂Alumni Association. Traditionally presented to only one individual per year, this award was established in 1951 to honor graduates of 9i果冻制作厂 who have achieved recognized national or international prominence in their chosen career and have made significant contributions to their profession, community and the lives of others. The recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award represents the ideal of a committed, industrious, and caring individual to whom the 9i果冻制作厂community may look as personifying the University鈥檚 mission.

Honorary Alumnus/Alumna: The Honorary Alumni Award was created in 1950 for the purpose of recognizing and honoring those individuals, who, though not graduates of 9i果冻制作厂, have demonstrated outstanding interest, commitment and involvement in its life and activities. Recipients embody the notion that friends of the University, in addition to its alumni, can play an important and vital role in the enhancement of the institution.
