Northern Kentucky University will recognize five distinguished alumni and faculty at the annual Alumni Awards on Friday, Feb. 7, 2025. Gaby Batshoun, Joe Meyer, Julie Kirkpatrick, Jenny Collopy and Steve Newman will be honored for their outstanding achievements and distinguished service to the community at the Alumni Awards Dinner and Celebration.
"I credit much of my success to NKU and the opportunities and challenges it provided me. The university gave a lot to me, so giving back of my time, talent and treasure is fulfilling."
“It’s given me a lot of self-confidence that I didn’t have before. That was something I wasn’t expecting: confidence in my own ability to make good decisions."
