Alum Spotlight
Meet our 2024 outstanding alumni award recipients
These eleven CLA alumni prove that a liberal arts education is a launchpad for impact. Nominated by their peers, they are reshaping industries and championing justice while pushing artistic boundaries and leading with purpose. We asked each of them about their journey—why they chose their major, how the liberal arts shaped their career, and what drives their work today.
