Nominate Metropolia’s Alum of the Year 2025
It’s time once again to nominate an outstanding alum for Metropolia’s Alum of the Year award. The Alum of the Year 2025 will be selected based on nominations from staff, students, and alumni. Metropolia’s Alumni Team will review the nominations and present a proposal to Metropolia’s executive group, which will make the final selection. The Alum of the Year will be announced on October 2 at the MetGO academic year opening event at the Myllypuro campus.
Metropolia’s second Alum of the Year was announced last autumn at the 2024 MetGO event at the Myyrmäki campus. From among many outstanding alumni, digital design professional Jesse Ukkonen received the award. Read more about Jesse here.
