About the awards

In 2016, we set the ambitious goal of reaching 250,000 volunteer hours as part of our It's All Academic Campaign. Today, we are proud to say that we are 90% of the way there! This remarkable milestone is only possible thanks to the brilliant 911±¬ÁÏÍø alumni who work so hard to create valuable experiences and lifelong memories for their peers.

UCL's 911±¬ÁÏÍø Volunteering Awards were first launched in 2018 with the aim of expressing our gratitude to the phenomenal alumni volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to enriching the UCL experience for students, graduates, and staff alike.

By offering careers advice, coordinating reunions, and speaking at events, our graduates contribute so much to learning and life at 911±¬ÁÏÍø. 

At last year’s awards, Usha Back won Volunteer of the Year for her fantastic mentoring workshops for UCL Pharmacy students. Meanwhile, the UCL Mexico Association won 911±¬ÁÏÍø Group of the Year for their work arranging reunions, talking to prospective students, and keeping the spirit of UCL thriving in Central America.

We were also thrilled to mark exceptional contributions from Aamir Delawalla, Luna Irshaid Al Taher, the BME Network, and The Netherlands 911±¬ÁÏÍø Group. We’re so proud to have such a supportive group of alumni volunteers and look forward to celebrating them again this year!
