The names engraved on the wall are University alumni who have received the Outstanding Achievement Award. Conferred by the Board of Regents, it is the University’s highest honor for its graduates. We applaud their accomplishments in serving their professions, their communities, our nation, and the world.

The Alumni Wall of Honor was designed by Antoine Predock, architect of the adjacent McNamara Alumni Center, in collaboration with sculptor Constance DeJong. It was erected as a gift to the University through the shared vision of the University of Minnesota Alumni Association, the University of Minnesota Foundation, and the Minnesota Medical Foundation, whose partnership also created the McNamara Alumni Center and the nearby Scholars Walk.

The Alumni Wall of Honor was made possible by a generous gift from Carlyle E. Anderson, ’32, one of the alumni honored here. Anderson was among the founders of the University of Minnesota Foundation and its first president. His long and distinguished business career in Chicago led to his receiving the Outstanding Achievement Award in 1959. His generosity also supported recognition of the university’s great scholars along the Scholars Walk.

NOTE: The UMAA is currently adding brief descriptions of the accomplishments of each OAA recipient. If you have a one-sentence description of someone listed below, please send it to Chris Coughlan-Smith. Thank you!
