Texnikoi Alumni Award Recipients
Texnikoi proudly honors alumni who exemplify leadership, integrity, and excellence through their professional achievements and continued impact beyond graduation. Each year, the active membership selects one outstanding individual to receive the Texnikoi Outstanding Alumni Award, a distinction that reflects the core values and mission of our organization. The award was paused in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Executive Board may choose to revive this tradition.
