An inspirational group of 20 young Otago alumni have been recognised in this year's 20Twenties Young Alumni Awards.
From around New Zealand and as far afield as Sydney and California, these young graduates are already making their mark in their diverse communities, in their workplaces, through their research, and in volunteer and leadership roles.
The awards aim to recognise 20 alumni in their twenties who have demonstrated outstanding achievements, contributed widely to their communities, or have shown exceptional leadership in their personal or professional lives. Nominations were received from the wider Otago alumni community, friends, employers and colleagues.
Between them, the 2021 award recipients' contribution to local, national and international communities and initiatives covers a wide range of areas, including: giving marginalised groups and minorities a voice; providing key advice on climate change policy; stepping into rural leadership roles; working to improve Māori and Moana Pacific peoples' health outcomes and wellbeing; forging a career in high performance sport; and helping roll out a cutting-edge heart health startup.
At Otago, they studied across all subject areas of the University, including Arts, Sciences, Social Work, Human Nutrition, Commerce, Applied Science, Law, Dentistry, Physical Education, Business Administration, Pharmacy, Biomedical Sciences and Health Sciences.
Alumni Engagement Manager Donnella Aitken-Ferguson says the calibre of all nominations was extremely high, and the panel of judges drawn from across the four academic Divisions at the University had a difficult task in choosing the 20 award recipients.
Top from left: Hanna Van der Giessen, Tisiola Talalima, Rachel Tombs, Thomas Kindley and Umi Asaka. Bottom from right: Katie Batterton, Joshuaa Alefosio-Pei, Maddi Ingham, Jay Barrett and Mary Jane Kivalu.
"These inspiring young alumni are all making incredible contributions to our society, many of them only recently out of University. Some are trailblazers in their field, others are committed to improving the lives and outcomes of people across diverse communities. All of them are passionate about what they do, and we are very proud of the positive difference they are making to people's lives and futures, here in New Zealand and around the world," says Ms Aitken-Ferguson.
Award recipient Tisiola Talalima, a Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences graduate, says she was "extremely happy and grateful to be recognised by the University". Tisiola received her award for her contribution to reducing health inequalities in the Moana Pacific community and for her engagement with the student community.
"This award means a great deal to me, as I want to highlight the importance of improving Pacific health outcomes and be a positive representative for my community," says Tisiola. "Also, I am not only happy for myself, as I hope this award will encourage and inspire other Pasifika students who are interested in scientific research and want to remove the inequities of Pacific health."
