UC Irvine Alumni Association to honor 21 exemplary Anteaters at Lauds & Laurels
The University of California, Irvine Alumni Association will bestow the 2025 Extraordinarius award, the campus’s highest alumni honor, on Shelley Hoss, M.B.P.A. ’87. She will be recognized at the 2025 Lauds & Laurels ceremony on Friday, Nov. 7, at the Hyatt Regency Irvine. 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.
Since 1971, Lauds & Laurels has recognized more than 900 members of the UC Irvine community for their outstanding contributions to the university, their professions and society. The Extraordinarius award is the pinnacle of this tradition.
“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.”
