Urs Landolf, ehemaliger Präsident von HSG Alumni, Ehrensenator der Universität St.Gallen und Delegierter des Stiftungsrates der HSG Stiftung, wurde mit dem ersten HSG Alumni Engagement Award für herausragende Verdienste an und rund um die Universität St.Gallen ausgezeichnet. Als Ausdruck seiner Grosszügigkeit hat er beschlossen, das Preisgeld um CHF 7'500 zu erhöhen und insgesamt CHF 12'500 dem St.Gallen Collegium zu spenden.

The HSG Alumni Engagement Award honours individuals who are actively involved in the community. The award is open to students, alumni, faculty members, HSG employees and external individuals. The award winner donates the prize money to another institution in the HSG network that has not yet received support from HSG Alumni. This strengthens the HSG ecosystem.
