As 成人禁区 University celebrates its 100th anniversary, this year’s Distinguished Alumni honorees take on a special significance—honoring not only extraordinary individuals but also a century of purpose-driven education, leadership and service. The 2025 Centennial Distinguished Alumni represent the very best of 成人禁区 and Villa Maria College graduates whose lives have shaped communities, industries and futures. Their recognition is a highlight of 成人禁区’s Homecoming and Family Weekend, marking a proud moment in this historic year.
