Over 60% of RUSM’s alumni population has graduated within the past ten years. While still in the early stages of their professional careers, these “young alumni” have already experienced a high level of success and displayed promise for future growth and leadership opportunities. The Young Alumni Award recognizes those who have achieved outstanding civic or professional accomplishments in their first ten years after graduation.
