UCF’s 2017 Class of 30 Under 30 post can be found here.
The University of Central Florida selects 30 individuals that are under the age of 30 to represent a ’30 Under 30′ class each year. The 30 Under 30 awards program recognizes outstanding young alumni who continue to “Reach for the Stars” in their professional and personal lives. Young alumni currently make up one third of our alumni population, making them the largest constituent base. Each year, the UCF community gathers to celebrate the achievements of these individuals in the areas of professional success, community involvement and/or university engagement.
The 30 Under 30 Award 1) must be a graduate of the University of Central Florida (undergraduate or graduate degree), 2) Must be age 30 or under on the deadline, 3) Must have made an impact in one or more of the following areas: professional success, community involvement, and/or university engagement, 4) Must demonstrate a commitment to maintaining a lifelong relationship with UCF, 5) Must strive to uphold the tenets of the UCF Creed, 6) Must be willing to submit a professional headshot that can be published by UCF Alumni and other UCF entities, as deemed appropriate.
Mike Kilbride, the chair of the Young Alumni Council stated:
“This year’s 30 under 30 class is a bold group of young alumni who have made an impact from the early stages of their careers. Their commitment to their profession, community and UCF is inspiring. This group represents the best of the best from UCF’s accomplished young alumni base. As a fellow alumnus, it is inspiring to see so many of our graduates using their UCF experience to make an impact. The entire young alumni council is proud of the group of finalists, and on behalf of ucf, i extend my sincerest congratulations on this well-deserved accomplishment.”
