Alumni and Giving

Our alumni are generous in financial support, recruiting and hiring graduates, mentoring our students, and promoting the school in their communities.

Stay Connected

Our alumni remain vital members of the School of Business community well beyond graduation. Our business graduates stay engaged and connected for life. Their continued involvement strengthens our network and inspires the next generation of business leaders.

In the Age of AI, Relationships Define the Pace of Business

The tools will keep getting better. They will draft the memo, run the model, and find the answer faster than any of us can. What they will not do is pick up the phone when a former student needs a candid word about a job offer. They will not be the long friend on the other end. They will not carry the accountability that comes from a shared experience and a common passion for a place.

That is the work we care about here. We want to connect alumni to students who are trying to figure out what comes next, and we want to be a useful part of the network that connects you to each other. Some of that is formal. Most of it is not.


Wherever you are in your career, there is a way in below.
