It is the time of year again when Stevens is gearing up for its much-anticipated Awards Gala. This annual event celebrates the remarkable contributions of its alumni and faculty to technology and engineering. Scheduled for October 5, at the picturesque Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, the 2024 gala promises to be a night of inspiration, recognition, and networking. The event honors those who have significantly impacted their communities and professions, reflecting the institute’s commitment to fostering innovation and leadership. Award nominations are now closed to allow for decisions to be made as we look to alumni and faculty to recognize their peers who exemplify Stevens’s values and spirit.
“Stevens is proud to celebrate the achievements of our community members who are pushing boundaries and making meaningful contributions across industries,” said President Nariman Farvardin. “The Awards Gala is an opportunity not just to acknowledge these individuals, but to inspire future generations to follow in their footsteps.”
The nomination process is straightforward and encourages participation from all corners of the Stevens community. Nominees must be alumni, faculty, or staff members who have contributed exceptionally in their respective fields. Nominees for the various awards are evaluated based on their professional accomplishments, community involvement, and commitment to the institute’s core values. Categories include the Distinguished Alumni Award, the Outstanding Young Alumni Award, and the Faculty Achievement Award. The gala honors these achievements and is a crucial fundraising event for the institute. Proceeds from the evening will support scholarships and initiatives that enhance the educational experience for current and future students.
The gala is a chance for the Stevens community to commemorate the achievements of all in its community and celebrate a future of innovation and learning at Castle Point. Beyond its purpose of honoring award recipients, the gala also offers a chance to recap the accomplishments of the entire university over the past year and lay the groundwork for the goals and aspirations of the upcoming years. Attendees will have the chance to network with leaders in technology, engineering, and entrepreneurship while enjoying a curated evening filled with gourmet dining and engaging presentations. The evening’s program will include keynote speeches from influential figures in the tech sector and testimonials from past award recipients who share how their time at Stevens shaped their careers.
