Alumni

The success of University College (UC) is based on the strength of our community: students, faculty, staff, and alumni. More than 50,000 people have become part of the UC alumni community since our founding in 1853. The success of UC alumni is a source of pride and inspiration to us all. Together, we celebrate lifelong learning, embrace diversity, and live out the UC motto: Parum claris lucem dare, to shed light on that which is obscure.
