Meet our Members

Conn Legacy Society members each have a unique history and connection to the University of Louisville. Read some of their stories here. Each year, members are recognized at an annual event on campus. Click here to see photos from the Fall 2021, Fall 2022 and Fall 2023 dinner.

UofL's legacy society is named in honor of Hank and Becky Conn (pictured here), who made a commitment in their estate to the University of Louisville's Speed School of Engineering to establish the Conn Center for Renewable Energy Research. The UofL community expresses its appreciation to Hank and Becky and to all those who are committed to UofL's ongoing excellence in education, research, and community engagement.
