The University of New Orleans has announced the 2022 honorees of UNO 25, an initiative that identifies, recognizes and celebrates 25 high-impact businesses or organizations that are owned or led by UNO alumni.
Representatives from the selected employers will be honored at a luncheon at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans on January 13, 2022.
“The 2022 class of UNO 25 highlights the prodigious influence of graduates of the University of New Orleans,” said President John Nicklow. “Our alumni lead iconic brands and are industry leaders throughout the region in areas including engineering, health care, hospitality, manufacturing, construction, technology, maritime services, finance, education and politics. In many different ways, they help stimulate economic growth and contribute to an enhanced quality of life for those in their communities.”
The University solicited UNO 25 nominations and applications earlier this year and a selection committee, chaired by President Nicklow, chose the 25 honorees.
The 2022 honorees include Ochsner Health, which has been named the first-ever Outstanding Corporate Partner, recognizing an organization that has demonstrated a commitment to UNO and its mission through the opportunities it provides to current students and alumni.
