Meet the University of Northern Colorado's 2024 Honored Alumni Award Winners and save the date to attend the award ceremony on March 23, 2024.

The time has come to nominate outstanding alumni for the 2024 University of Northern Colorado (UNC) Honored Alumni award, the highest honor awarded by the Alumni Association. Presented annually to five graduates, the award recognizes their career success and service to the university. It’s somewhat of a norm for UNC graduates to be leaders in their fields and communities, a testament to their hard work and determination. Within our far-and-wide network of alumni, this award goes to the graduates whose leadership and service inspire their fellow Bears to stay involved and invested in the university.

The Campaign for UNC kicked off with fun and flare during the 2017 Honored Alumni Celebration on March 25, 2017. The $45 million campaign will raise funds for Campus Commons, scholarships, faculty development, research and programs.
