30 Under 30

One year ago, the University of Miami Alumni Association held an open call for its inaugural 30 Under 30 list. Nominations were received over the course of one month. To be considered, candidates had to receive either an undergraduate or a graduate degree from the University of Miami and be under the age of 30 as of May 31, 2017.

Qualifying candidates were then evaluated based on the impact made on their profession, community, and the University of Miami. The Young Alumni Leadership Council review committee found it intensely challenging to select 30 finalists, based on the overwhelming achievements of the nominees. 

Join us in celebrating the successes of UM's 30 under 30!
