The Johnson Recent Alumni Council (JRAC), an engaged group of recent graduates of the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, is excited to announce the launch of its annual 10 Under 10 notable alumni list for 2022-23 and the beginning of the nomination period.

Aimed at honoring ten notable alumni who are within ten years of graduation, 10 Under 10 notable alumni are selected annually and recipients are featured individually in profiles throughout the academic year. Read about the stellar alumni who were featured as the inaugural 2021-22 10 Under 10 finalists.

Alumni honorees are selected based on their demonstrated excellence in two of the following three pillars: professional success, level of involvement in their community, and level of engagement with the Cornell community. In certain cases, JRAC may select a recipient based on exemplary performance in one category.

The 10 Under 10 notable alumni list underscores the value that Johnson brings to the alumni community, to current and prospective employers, and to the community at large.

How to nominate a Johnson graduate for the notable alumni list

Anyone is eligible to submit a nomination and alumni may self-nominate. Nominees must have graduated within the last ten years and must hold a Johnson MBA degree or a specialized master’s degree from Johnson (MPS in Management or MPS in Management – Accounting Specialization). This year, eligible classes range from the class of 2013 to the class of 2022.

To nominate a Johnson graduate to the 10 Under 10 notable alumni list, please use the 10 Under 10 notable alumni nomination form. You are welcome to share the form with others interested in nominating potential recipients.

When you nominate a Johnson graduate for the 10 Under 10 notable alumni list, you will be asked to provide basic information plus supplemental material about the nominee.
