Alumnus of the Year
The Alumnus of the Year award honours our former students. Every year, Mid Sweden University honours two people that are good ambassadors for the university and positive role models for our current and future students.
Among Mid Sweden University’s former students we select two people 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.
Anyone with a connection to Mid Sweden University such as staff, students, student unions and university alumni may nominate people to the Alumnus of the Year.
The next round opens in spring 2026.
