Community recognition

Held annually in spring, Curtin’s Alumni Awards showcase graduates who inspire powerful action, drive progressive change and push boundaries to shape the future for the better.

The titles of Emeritus Professor and John Curtin Distinguished Emeritus Professor are awarded to a Professor who is within six months of retirement from the University, and has demonstrated a distinguished service to research, learning and teaching and has raised the profile of the University, nationally and internationally.

Curtin University’s Honorary Awards are prestigious honours intended to recognise an individuals’ substantial achievements and contributions.

There are eight Honorary Doctorates, each with a different focus but all of equal status.
