30 Under 30
The 30 Under 30 awards program recognizes trailblazing young alumni who are making a better tomorrow for all of us. From more than 2,500 young CBA alumni, we seek to identify and highlight outstanding Colts who are changemakers, trendsetters, problem solvers, and innovators, who truly exemplify what it means to be an intellectually mature and morally responsible leader.
An independent selection committee of CBA administration and alumni leaders will review and rank nominees based on professional achievements, as well as social, philanthropic, and community involvement. Selected awardees will be recognized here, on social media, and in the January 2026 Alumni newsletter.
