Alumnus of the Year
In 2015 Mid Sweden University was celebrating 10 years as a university. On the occasion of the Jubilee introduced the appointment of the Alumnus of the year for alumni who have made outstanding contributions in their career or done something else that is worth paying attention to. The price has been distributed yearly since then.
Among Mid Sweden University’s former students we select one man and one woman each year to the Alumnus of the Year.
The announcement of the winners takes place in conjunction with the University's academic celebration on either campus Sundsvall or Östersund.
All with a link to Mid Sweden University such as staff, students, student unions and university alumni have the opportunity to nominate people to the Alumnus of the Year.
