Each year a select group of alumni are honored at an awards ceremony
held on campus in June. Criteria for selection includes, but is not
limited to, career and civic accomplishments, a history of giving back
to the community as well as active support of the University in any
number of ways.
Let Us Know Where You Are!
We can’t honor you if we can’t find you! We know that the University
of Bridgeport has alumni who have made significant contributions in so
many professions. From professional accomplishments, to overcoming
adversity, to contributions to your community—-this is what
distinguishes UB alumni.
Let Us Know What You’re Doing!
Our expanded and re-designed alumni magazine, “Knightlines,” is sent
to more than 30,000 alumni, supporters, and friends. Keep the alumni
office informed of your professional successes as well as your
community activism. With your permission, we would love to share it in
“Knightlines.” It’s a way of connecting with old friends, and providing
inspiration to more recent graduates.
