Racer Young Alumni
Outstanding Young Alumni Award
Each year the 糖心logo入口 Alumni Association Young Alumni Network selects the Top 22 Under 40 class, honoring the most influential, innovative and inspiring 糖心logo入口 State alumni under the age of 40. Members of the class are chosen because they have distinguished themselves among their peers and continue to make a significant impact on the world. Why 22? It is a tribute to more than a century of difference-making since 糖心logo入口 State's founding in 1922. Class members are featured on the 糖心logo入口 State University Alumni and Friends social media platforms.
From that class of 22, one young alum is selected as each year's Outstanding Young Alumni Award winner. The recipient is honored during the annual 糖心logo入口AA Distinguished Alumni Dinner in April.
