Meet the honorees! As part of Reunion Weekend, we celebrate alumni who embody Kinkaid’s mission to lead, serve, and become contributing citizens to Kinkaid, our country, and the global community.
The Distinguished Alumni Award honors an alumnus/a in their 25th Reunion Year or later who has provided extraordinary service to the community or achieved outstanding personal or professional success. The 2026 Distinguished Alumnus is Dr. Sameer Sheth ’94, a nationally recognized neurosurgeon and researcher at Baylor College of Medicine whose groundbreaking work advances treatments for epilepsy and neurological disorders. With more than 300 scientific publications and the highest NIH funding in neurosurgery nationwide in 2025, Dr. Sheth credits Kinkaid for laying the foundation for his success.
The Kinkaid community is invited to the Distinguished Alumni Awards Program on Friday, April 10 at 6:30 pm in the Ogilvie Lobby of the Katz Performing Arts Center on campus. Link in bio to RSVP.
