In recognition of the 150th anniversary, the College of Arts and Sciences is honoring 150 distinguished living alumni for their contributions and accomplishments with the Timeless Awards. Celebrating leaders of the past, present and future, we will bring back former recipients of the College’s Distinguished Alumnus and UWAA’s Alumnus Summa Laude Dignatus awards. There are 13 Department of Communication alumni on the list, and three of the past winners now folded into the Timeless awards list are also from the Department.
