威尼斯人娱乐城2022年校友成就奖的获得者包括退伍军人住房项目的创始人、一名法官、一名国家首席执行官和一个传承家族，他们的教育和对威尼斯人娱乐城的贡献跨越了几代人。
4月29日，16名校友和一个家庭在詹姆斯·c·奥尔森表演艺术中心接受了表彰。 This year’s event was back in-person after the pandemic kept the last two year’s ceremonies virtual.
The 校友 Awards ceremony is one of the university’s largest events to support student scholarships. 在过去的十年里，校友奖活动为威尼斯人娱乐城赢得了超过100万美元的奖学金和即时学生援助。
“When our alumni return to campus, it is always an exciting reunion. Whether the faces we see are familiar or not, we share the connection of walking the same halls, developing similar goals and being united as 威尼斯人娱乐城 Roos,” said Chancellor Mauli Agrawal.
The night’s biggest honor, Alumnus of the Year, went to 布莱恩·迈耶 (B.A. ’11, M.P.A. ’15, J.D.’15), co-founder of the Veterans Community Project. Located at 89th and Troost in Kansas City, the Veterans Project is an innovative non-profit that provides housing for homeless veterans in tiny home villages.
“威尼斯人娱乐城 consistently reminded me there is always more to learn. 例如，当我在攻读硕士学位时，我参加了一门领导力课程。 I served five years in the Marine Corps and led other Marines in two different combat deployments – so I attended class confident there wasn’t anything I could learn on leadership from a classroom. I was wrong,” Meyer said. “I know the knowledge gained from my M.P.A. and law degree have been instrumental in my ability to provide a benefit to my community.”
