Alumni Hall of Fame

The UCI Physical Sciences Alumni Hall of Fame honors those who have made a significant impact in their profession, or in other ways have brought distinction to their alma mater. Every year, we seek nominations for exceptional alumni and then hold a special celebration for new and past Hall of Fame inductees.

The nomination process for the 2023 Alumni Hall of Fame will open soon!
