In this list Waldorf alumni who are recognized in their home countries or internationally for positive contributions to the arts, science, politics, commerce, industry, and other fields are collected. The authors of this list do not claim to provide a representative picture of careers of Waldorf alumni (read more about the motivation behind this list). We are aware of the fact that the extent of positive correlation that exists between "positive contributions" and "fame" depends on several factors, such as the occupational category the listed individuals belong to (for instance, actors - who generally have a stronger media presence than e.g. scientists - may achieve widespread "fame" more easily than the latter group, which in turn does not necessarily imply a greater positive impact on society). For this reason it is not easy to apply a universal set of "qualification criteria". We reserve the right to decide for or against including names on the list on a case-by-case basis.

Although we add the names to the best of our knowledge and after best possible investigation, we cannot guarantee for the accuracy of the given information. If you have reason to believe that any part of information published in the list is incorrect, please let us know. Should one of the listed alumni have objections to his/her appearance on the list we will remove the entry immediately upon being informed. We thank the people worldwide who are participating in collecting the names of Waldorf alumni. The list shall be extended. If someone knows a Waldorf alumnus who meets the above mentioned criteria but is not on the list yet, please let us know.

This initiative is independent and in no way initiated or influenced by any official Waldorf related institution. The present text is part of the list.
