Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics annually promotes the attribution of the "Career Award" to honor one of its Alumni who, in the course of their professional career, have distinguished themselves in the light of criteria inspired by the principles transmitted throughout their academic training, such as leadership, professionalism, ethics and social impact. CATÓLICA-LISBON Alumni can now propose the candidates who they believe deserve this distinction, by filling out a form.
To be eligible for the Career Award, candidates must have an established career, be over 45 years old and have completed a Bachelor's, Master's, Executive Master's (with degree) or MBA at CATÓLICA-LISBON. In addition to these requirements, the applications must also describe the nominee's main achievements, that demonstrate how he or she has contributed to the quality of the companies and institutions in which he or she has worked, in their most varied aspects, to the benefit of investors, employees, other members of the business community and society at large.
These Alumni, also contribute, of course, to the reputation of excellence of their School, with 50 years of history, which has maintained, since its birth, a clear intention to educate socially responsible managers and economists and of creating a unique community of ethical and conscientious leaders inspired to change the world.
"It is a great joy to resume this year the CATÓLICA-LISBON Career Award, a high annual award for the recognition and excellence of our Alumni, created in 2006 and now in its XIII edition. This is an opportunity to engage the entire community in nominating and honoring one of our Alumni with a unique career, governed by the principles of leadership, professionalism, ethics and social impact in organizations and in the world. It is also an opportunity to highlight and honor the colleagues who make us most proud and inspire us," says Patrícia O'Donnell Guimarães, Director of Alumni Relations at CATÓLICA- LISBON, calling on all former students of the school to participate.
