In 1972, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Alumni Association created the Outstanding Young Alumni program as a means of recognizing the career accomplishments and promise of alumni who are recent graduates of the University. These graduates should be regarded as role models for our current students. In the last 7 years, 7 International Studies Program graduates have been awarded that prestigious honor.
