Celebrating our
distinguished alumni
Every two years we acknowledge and celebrate the contribution our top-achieving alumni make locally and globally. In 2021 we celebrate the achievements of six of Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington’s most distinguished alumni.
The recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Awards 2021 are climate change advocate Lisa McLaren, entrepreneur and arts supporter Chris Parkin, lawyer and champion for social change Stacey Shortall, prominent business leader Rachel Taulelei, Chief District Court Judge Heemi Taumaunu, and former diplomat and public servant Sir Maarten Wevers.
Congratulations to our 2021 Distinguished Alumni Award recipients, who will be honoured at a special event in 2022.
