Now in its sixth year, York University’s Top 30 Alumni Under 30 program celebrates inspiring and diverse alumni – 29 years old and younger – who are making a positive and impactful difference within their businesses, organizations and communities.
Both locally and abroad, York’s young alumni recipients have pushed boundaries across sectors through careers in social advocacy, international relations, sustainability, cyber security, health, engineering and more.
Nominations are open to York graduates – defined as someone who has received an academic degree from the University – who are 29 years of age or younger on Dec. 31, 2025 (born in 1996 or more recently). Candidates can self-nominate or be nominated.
Alumni who belong to the following groups are not eligible to be nominated: full-time staff and faculty of York University, members of the York University Alumni Board and members of York University’s Senate and Board of Governors.
To nominate a York graduate, share how a candidate demonstrates a commitment to creating positive change for York University, the wider community and beyond. All nominations must be received by midnight on Tuesday, Oct. 14.
