EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE INSPIRING THE IE COMMUNITY
EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE INSPIRING THE IE COMMUNITY
At IE, “extraordinary” isn’t a label reserved for the loudest success stories. It’s what happens when people choose the hard work—showing up with courage, integrity, and responsibility, day after day.
The EPIC Awards celebrate alumni who lead that way: building, improving, and contributing with consistency and purpose. Every year we highlight a few stories, but the spirit behind EPIC belongs to all alumni who do the work, even when no one is watching.
