Kentucky Wesleyan College is launching the “Forward Under 40” program, recognizing alumni who exemplify The Wesleyan Way with an emphasis on service, progress, and leadership.
Faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends may all submit nominees for this award. Nominations are open through October 6. Nominations submitted received after that date will be considered for the Class of 2026.
“We’re excited to introduce a new way to honor the accomplishments of our alumni,” said Summer Aldridge, KWC senior director of engagement. “Forward Under 40 is an additional way for the KWC Alumni Association to celebrate the significant impact our young alumni are making in the world.”
Graduates of Kentucky Wesleyan under 40 as of December 31, 2024, who have “demonstrated exceptional early-career achievement and a positive impact on their professions and/or communities” are eligible for this award, according to a release.
The inaugural Class of 2025 will be announced in November and officially recognized at the Forward Under 40 Celebration on February 22 during KWC’s Spring Reunion Weekend.
