2025 EXTRAORDINARIUS
The UC Irvine Alumni Association will bestow the 2025 Extraordinarius award, the association’s highest honor, on Shelley Hoss, M.B.P.A. ’87. She will be recognized at the 2025 Lauds & Laurels ceremony on Friday, Nov. 7. This year’s event is doubly significant as it coincides with UC Irvine’s 60th anniversary – a time to celebrate six decades of innovation, impact and excellence.
“Shelley Hoss exemplifies what it means to be an Anteater – visionary, compassionate and driven by purpose,” said Brian Hervey, vice chancellor for university advancement and alumni relations. “Her leadership in the philanthropic sector has not only transformed Orange County but also inspired a new standard for community impact. We are proud to recognize her with the Extraordinarius award.”
