Alumni

Alumni of our undergraduate program pursue exciting careers in a wide variety of fields, from medicine and law to business, the nonprofit sector, and academia. Each spring at our annual Awards Ceremony, recipients of our Distinguished Alumni Award talk about how the study of philosophy shaped their lives and their career trajectories in sometimes surprising ways.

Many of our Ph.D. alumni are leaders in the discipline of philosophy. Each year, one of our Ph.D. alumni returns to campus to deliver our Alumni Lecture as part of our annual graduate recruitment event. Current Ph.D. students benefit greatly from talking with graduates of the program who have gone on to successful academic careers.
