Three awards and acknowledgments are presented each year at the Annual Alpha Challenge event.
In 2024, during the 20th anniversary of Alpha Challenge, the Distinguished Alumni Award was established to recognize outstanding alumni who exemplify the spirit of “paying it forward” through their continued support, mentorship, and engagement with the program.
The Pat Hartley Performance Results are also presented annually, recognizing the school that achieved the best combined returns in the previous year’s competition.
Finally, winners are recognized in both the Equity and Credit competitions based on judge evaluations.
