Outstanding Achievement Deserves Recognition

Since 1943, the University of Arizona Alumni Association has presented accomplished alumni and friends with distinguished awards. Our goal is to recognize alumni, friends of the institution, community leaders, faculty, staff, students, alumni chapters and clubs, and college alumni councils for outstanding achievement and/or service to the University of Arizona, the Alumni Association, their communities, and their professions.

The Alumni Achievement Award is given to an alumnus or alumna who has attained prominence nationally in his or her field of endeavor and demonstrated outstanding service to the University of Arizona.
