The Auburn Alumni Association’s Young Alumni Council is requesting nominations from Auburn University alumni and friends for the 2024 20 under 40 recognition. This recognition was established to recognize members of the Auburn Family for extraordinary accomplishments, significant professional achievements, or distinguished service to others.

Qualified nominees must meet the following criteria:

It is the nominator or the nominees’ responsibility to notify Caroline Brophy at carolinebrophy@auburn.edu or by phone 334.844.1154 if a second-year nomination is being re-submitted.
