Loyalist College announces the recipient of the Hugh P. O’Neil Outstanding Alumni Award

Loyalist College is recognizing a graduate.

Janak Alford has been chosen to receive the Hugh P. O’Neil Outstanding Alumni Award.

He graduated from Loyalist in 2002 in the Architectural Technician diploma program. Alford works for the federal government as a Chief Technology Officer and Enterprise Architect.

The College notes in a statement, that Alford is being chosen for the award this year for his work as a leader, designer, and entrepreneur.

“As a proud Loyalist graduate, I’m honoured to be recognized as the 2023 recipient of the Hugh P. O’Neil Outstanding Alumni Award. I can draw a clear line connecting my education at Loyalist to my many personal and professional experiences and accomplishments. The skills I learned in the Architectural Technician program prepared me for and accelerated my future education and entrepreneurship activities. I have become a better designer, thinker, and doer because of the education I received at Loyalist College. Two decades later, I still retain and apply these skills in all my creative design endeavours. Loyalist gave me the opportunity to show what I could accomplish and challenged me to grow,” said Alford, in a statement released by the College.

The Hugh P. O’Neil Outstanding Alumni Award will be given to Alford next month during Convocation.
