GOLD10 is a brand-new annual recognition to spotlight ten exceptional GOLD alumni (Graduates Of the Last Decade) who have graduated within the past 10 years and are already making meaningful strides in their careers, communities and beyond.

Graduated from UTC within the last 10 years (Spring 2015 – Fall 2025).
