The Outstanding Mapuan (TOM) is a joint and annual project of the Mapua Institute of Technology (now Mapua University) and the National Association of Mapua Alumni (NAMA). 

 

The TOM primarily seeks to give due recognition to the alumni of Mapua who have excelled in their profession or vocation, or have made outstanding contributions to the welfare of the school, the community, the country, and/ or the world. 

 

The project aims to focus the attention of Mapúa alumni and the public on these achievements so they may serve as inspiration for everybody. Mapúa and NAMA pay tribute to these outstanding alumni every year.

 

The categories of awards include Professional Field of Practice (Architecture, Civil, Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Mining, Metallurgical, Computer, Industrial, etc.), Specialized Fields of Endeavor (Academe, Military, Entrepreneurship and Pioneering Endeavor), International Fields Endeavor and Fields of Service (Alumni and Community).

 

As a NAMA Chapter organization, Southern California Mapua Alumni (SCMA) participates in the TOM project. To receive a TOM award through SCMA, a member should meet certain requirements, be nominated and subsequently approved by the Executive Board per the SCMA TOM Award Guidelines. Additional information is available on the Mapua University TOM site.
