Alumni of Achievement

The Alumni of Achievement Award is the highest honor bestowed by the UAH Alumni Association. The award recognizes graduates who have distinguished themselves professionally and personally and who exemplify the high standards of UAHuntsville. Winners are selected by a committee from nominations made by alumni, faculty, and friends.

To commemorate their achievement, the 2009 award recipients will be honored at a luncheon on October 19th and their names will be engraved on the Alumni Commemorative Pathway on the UAHuntsville campus.

The Alumni of Achievement Award was created in 2001 as part of the university’s 50 years of class celebration. For more information on this award or the Award Luncheon event, please contact Rachel Osby at 256-824-6549 or Rachel.Osby@uah.edu.
