All nominees went through a selection process led by the screening committee, which determined the candidates for final review by the UST Alumni Association Board Trustees and approval by the Rector.
The annual TOTAL Awards, which began in 1993, is the highest honor bestowed by the University upon Thomasian alumni. Roy Abrahmn D.R. Narra
