This year’s honorees, “ambitious, innovative and highly motivated leaders,” are the product of our most competitive selection process to date: A diverse pool of 115 outstanding alumni nominees under the age of 40 who spanning professions including education, the arts, science, technology, medicine, business, media and government, with the 40 final honorees chosen for distinguished achievements in their careers and communities.

“Our alumni are ambitious, innovative and highly motivated leaders in their fields,” said Chris Brown ’85 (Business Administration), director of alumni relations. “It is clear that they are making significant impacts in their communities both professionally and personally. The College is proud of their achievements and commitment to giving back.”

Finalists were determined by the College’s 40 Under Forty Awards Committee, composed of representatives from the College’s administration, alumni leadership, faculty and staff.
