The Alumni Awards celebrate the impact of Cambridge alumni around the world. We've been inspired by individuals and groups whose talent, leadership and commitment are creating positive change in their communities, professions and beyond. This year's shortlist demonstrates the many ways alumni contribute to society. Their achievements remind us that excellence takes many forms: advancing knowledge, inspiring others, tackling global challenges and serving society with purpose. Compiling this shortlist was no easy task for our alumni judges. We received a remarkable number of nominations highlighting the wide range of achievements, dedication and impact of our alumni community.

I would like to offer my deepest gratitude to our Alumni Awards judging panel. Their thoughtful deliberations have shaped a shortlist that celebrates the remarkable achievements of our alumni and enables us to announce this year's finalists with confidence. Congratulations to all those who've been shortlisted and thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a nomination.

Together, these alumni embody the ambition and spirit that continues to connect the Cambridge community around the world. Clare Monaghan Director of Alumni Engagement
