    The YCYW Alumni Network has more than 30,000 members throughout the world. Our graduates not only excel in their chosen fields, they also epitomise the values and spirit that define YCYW. In recognition of their outstanding achievements, we are delighted to announce that nominations for the 2024 YCYW Alumni Hall of Fame are now open!

     

    The YCYW Alumni Hall of Fame was established in 2020 to honour alumni who have made outstanding contributions to their communities, and promote the spirit and legacy of YCYW. Each year, students and faculty from across all our campuses in Hong Kong SAR, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Tongxiang, Yantai, as well as Silicon Valley in the US come together via live videos for the celebration of our Founder’s Day and the presentation of this prestigious award. 

    Past Honorees:

    A Legacy of Leadership and Impact

    This award is more than just a recognition; it is a celebration of the remarkable stories that define our community. It’s also an opportunity for us to reflect on the achievements of our alumni, and to celebrate their success.

     

    Since its inception, the YCYW Alumni Hall of Fame has honoured 16 outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions in various fields, such as philanthropy, arts, finance, and education. These awardees have become beacons of inspiration for current students and alumni, demonstrating how the seeds of education planted by YCYW during the past 90 years have grown into a powerful force for change.
