A total of 91 alumni were recognized during The 6th Distinguished Thomasian Alumni Night (TDTAN) by the UST Alumni Association, Inc. (USTAAI) in partnership with the Office of Alumni Relations (OAR) on November 27, 2021 via Zoom and FB Live.

The alumni were individually awarded the DTAN token of recognition designed after the university's national cultural treasure, the Arch of the Centuries. It is inspired by the historic and distinct presence of the structure befitting the prominence and excellence of the honorees in their chosen field especially during these trying times.

"This is an authentic testimony of what makes Thomasian professionals a cut above the rest. No matter what the circumstances are, Thomasians continue to serve and walk the extra mile for society and for the nation," said UST Rector Very. Rev. Fr. Richard Ang, O.P. during his inspirational speech. He pointed out that one of the most important attributes that set the Thomasians apart from others is the values that they constantly adhere to in the practice of their profession which clearly shows whenever they deal with people in the highest standard that they set in every work they do. He gave the honorees his highest regards and congratulated them for their achievements.

The live segment of TDTAN attended by honorees via Zoom.

TDTAN was founded by the then USTAAI President Dr. Robert C. Sy during the Rectorship of Rev. Fr. Rolando de la Rosa, O.P. in 2009 to gather all prominent graduates and associate alumni of the university to drumbeat the Quadricentennial celebration in 2011. The success of the event has motivated the associations to continue commemorating its alumni every year to showcase them to younger generations of Thomasians to be their inspiration and role models.
