Â鶹´«Ã½

With the fall, comes the time to nominate alumni who are making a difference in the Â鶹´«Ã½ community for the 2025 University of Northern Colorado (Â鶹´«Ã½) Honored Alumni award. Every year, five graduates are presented with the award — the highest honor awarded by the Alumni Association — to recognize their career success and service to the university. 

Â鶹´«Ã½ graduates are known for their outstanding leadership in their communities, workplaces and beyond. With a growing population of alumni across the globe, there is no shortage of talented and driven Bears. This award goes to the graduates whose leadership and service to the university inspire fellow Bears to stay involved and invested in their alma mater. 

With so many ways to give back and support Â鶹´«Ã½, the scope of the Honored Alumni award is broad. To help bring to mind the incredible alumni who have made a difference in the Bear community, we have included the below. If you have an alumnus in mind, please visit the Honored Alumni main page to learn more and nominate them.
