Savannah State University (SSU) recently unveiled its inaugural 40 Under 40 Awards, a prestigious recognition aimed at honoring the achievements of accomplished alumni who have excelled in their respective fields before the age of 40.

SSU’s 40 Under 40 Awards will cover a diverse range of sectors, including business, academia, arts, sciences, and philanthropic service through non-profit work.

SSU's decision to institute the 40 Under 40 Awards underscores the university's commitment to acknowledging and applauding the outstanding success stories of its alumni, serving as a source of inspiration for current and future students.

“Savannah State University takes immense pride in the accomplishments of our alumni who continue to shine brightly across diverse fields,” said Alexander. “The launch of our 40 Under 40 Awards is a testament to the unparalleled success stories that have emerged from our institution. As we honor these remarkable individuals, we celebrate not only their achievements but also the profound impact of an SSU education. These awards serve as a beacon of inspiration for current and future Tigers, reinforcing our commitment to nurturing leaders who will leave an indelible mark on the world.”

Honorees must have graduated from SSU and aspire to uphold their core values of collaboration, academic excellence, discovery and innovation, integrity, openness and inclusion and sustainability.

“40 Under 40 affords us the opportunity to recognize the impact our alumni are making daily in their chosen career paths and communities," said Marius L. Davis, M.A., Director of Alumni Relations. "We are excited to have the opportunity to highlight and celebrate their accomplishments. Our alumni are among the best and brightest and are proof positive that you can get anywhere from Savannah State University."

The SSU 40 Under 40 Award ceremony will be held in early 2025 and promises to be a momentous occasion, bringing together alumni, faculty, students, and the wider community to celebrate the accomplishments of these young achievers.

SSU will accept nominations through August 30. For more information, click here. SSU will announce recipients in late Fall 2024.
