The nomination process
- Name and reason for the nomination are sent in via a form. The possibility to nominate candidates opens in mid November, when 200 days remain until the graduation ceremony, and closes in mid April.
- The information is then administrated by the project group for the Graduation ceremony, which after the nomination period compiles all nominations and sends these to the decision making commitee.
- Based on the nominations received, the decision making comittee will suggest a candidate for the Alumnus/Alumna of the Year award, then a decision is made by the Vice-Chancellor.
The decision making comittee consists of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor with specific responsibility for collaboration, internationalisation and innovation (chairman), a representative from the Student Union and the Collaborative Coordinator from each School.
A nomination is valid for the coming three years. A nominated candidate can therefore get the award another year than the year she or he was nominated.
