The University of Iowa Eight Over 80 Awards
As Hawkeyes, we give back throughout our lives.
We're leaders in our professions. We're generous with our time and talent. We're passionate about things we love—especially anything black and gold. And some Hawkeyes continue to make an impact well beyond retirement.
That's why we honor Iowa alumni, age 80 and over, who carry the Hawkeye spirit of achievement and continue to help others. Celebrate a senior Hawkeye by nominating an extraordinary alum for the Eight Over 80 Award.
To nominate someone, you will need to share:
- The nominee's name, as well as yours.
- Your relationship to the nominee.
- The nominee's graduation year and age, if known.
- One or two paragraphs about how this individual continues to improve their community through their passions, profession, or volunteerism—proving that age is really just a number.
Nominations for this year will be accepted until November 15. Nominations received after that date will be considered for the following year. All nominations will be reviewed by a committee in December. Nominators will be notified of the status of their submission after the first of the year.
