The Distinguished Alumni Awards honour Seneca graduates who are recognized leaders in their profession and who demonstrate exemplary community or public service. Their life stories are inspiring and their accomplishments set a standard of excellence to which many students aspire.
The Award was established in 2000 by the Seneca College Alumni Association. The men and women the College chooses to honour represent the thousands of Seneca Alumni who have combined a Seneca College education with their own energy, passion and commitment to achieve career, personal and public success.
