Alumni Celebration
Each year, the UC Alumni Association recognizes and celebrates the many contributions and overall excellence of UC alumni in countless fields of endeavor, throughout the world.
Celebrate Alumni Success
The UC Alumni Association annually celebrates excellence throughout our alumni family by bestowing its top awards on a select group of Bearcats — recognizing the innovation and impact they've made and the resulting contributions to their university, communities and fields of endeavor.
2026 Honorees
Congratulations to our 18 honorees who will be depicted on a vibrant new mural to be painted on a building in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in April.
