The Alumni Achievement Award Digital Badge
As a past recipient of an Alumni Achievement Award, you have shown how a Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) education is a pathway to professional excellence.
In 2023, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Alumni Achievement Awards, we’re pleased to have shared with you a special, digital badge to commemorate your impactful changemaking.
Also known as an e-badge, a digital badge is a way to showcase your accolades or accreditations on digital platforms, such as in your email signature or LinkedIn profile. It can even be pasted into your digital resume or online portfolio to represent the recognition you have received by your university and peers.
We’re proud to have you as a member of the TMU community and hope you will display this badge just as proudly. Thank you for serving your university with distinction and being a continuing inspiration to us all.
