18 Under 40

Southwestern University alumni enter a variety of industries after graduation, leading fulfilling lives that contribute to the well-being of humanity. In 2019, to celebrate our youngest graduates, Southwestern announced a new alumni recognition program – “18 under 40.”

Nominations will open November 1, 2024 for the 2025 class of honorees. Learn more about the 18 Under 40 program and nomination process, honorees, and the nomination process.
