On 12 November 2025, SMU hosted the inaugural SMU Alumni Awards 2025 in the SMU Hall, with President Tharman Shanmugaratnam as Guest of Honour.

The SMU Alumni Awards mark the University’s highest recognition of alumni achievement and will be conferred every five years, honouring SMU alumni and associate alumni who have distinguished themselves through professional excellence, innovation, and service to society.

Recipients were trailblazers and changemakers who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and drive, advanced social impact, and embodied the University’s values of integrity, inclusion, sustainability, and community upliftment — both within SMU and beyond.
