Big News...Announcing the 2011 Top Alumni!

2010 Taft Medal winner, Nancy Hamant, with President Williams.

Congratulations to this year's top alumni award recipients!

Each year, we honor a select group of our most distinguished and service-oriented alumni. In some cases, their work benefits our very own UC community and in other instances, their own professions or the community at large. Either way, they're doing incredible things from all corners of the country and are certainly deserving of a good ole' fashioned Bearcat tribute.

So be sure to shout out your congrats below or better yet, join us for UCAA's signature UC Day Celebration on June 9th where we'll show the UC community what makes these Bearcats so special. This year's honorees include...(drum roll, please!)...
