Top 22 Under 40 -- Inaugural Class, 2019
The Murray State University Alumni Association Young Alumni Council is searching for the inaugural Top 22 Under 40 class. We are ISO the most influential, innovative and inspiring Murray State alumni under the age of 40, who have distinguished themselves among their peers and continue to make a significant impact on the world. Why 22? Because everyone does the 40 thing! And, we want to pay tribute to nearly a century of difference-making since Murray State's founding in 1922. The 22 finalists will be featured on the Murray State Young Alumni and Murray State University Alumni and Friends social media channels throughout the month of December, and one overall winner will be selected from the top 22 as the first-ever MSUAA Distinguished Young Alumnus/Alumna in 2020. Wouldn't that look killer on your resume?!
To be eligible, nominees must:
- Be under the age of 40 as of December 31, 2019
- Be a current member of the Murray State University Alumni Association and Young Alumni
- Have earned an associate, undergraduate or graduate degree from Murray State University
- Exhibit and embrace Murray State University's mission and core values
- Demonstrate a lifelong commitment to alma mater
- Have made a significant impact in their industry and community
