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 make an impact well beyond retirement.
That's why we honor Iowa alumni, age 80 and over, who embody 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
- Details about how this individual continues to enhance their community through their passions, profession, or volunteerism
While lifetime accomplishments are valued, this award specifically recognizes alumni who continue to lead, serve, learn, and make a positive impact at age 80 and beyond.
Nominations will be accepted until Nov. 15; any received after that date will be considered for the following year. Only one submission will be accepted per nominee. All nominations will be reviewed by committee in December. Nominators will be notified of the status of their submission after the first of the year.
