A university’s greatness is often reflected in the success of its alumni and supporters. Auburn University has a proud tradition of producing distinguished individuals across many fields. To honor these achievements, the Auburn Alumni Association established the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001—its highest honor—for alumni and friends who have excelled professionally or served others in exceptional ways.

In 2015, the Young Alumni Achievement Award was introduced to recognize outstanding graduates aged 40 or younger who have made significant professional or community contributions.
