18 of the Last 9 - 2016 Honorees

Congratulations to the 2016 class of 18 of the Last 9!

Based on the popular “30 under 30” model, the program is designed to honor young alumni who are living out the values inherent in a Miami education. In the program's fourth year, more than 100 alumni were nominated for this award. This year’s 18 inductees were selected from an outstanding pool of young alumni, with achievements and demonstrated passions in fields ranging from medicine and geography to business innovation and foreign affairs. To see the list of previous year's honorees, visit MiamiAlum.org/18of9.

The honorees were on campus Oct. 27-28, speaking in classrooms, meeting with student groups and reconnecting with faculty. They were honored at a dinner on Friday, Oct. 28, 2016.
