We encourage our graduates to stay in touch with us through a wide variety of alumni information, programs, reunions, and career resources. This connection is vital because it enables our alumni to maintain contact with their peers; receive and provide lifelong learning and career support; make financial contributions and help with school enhancements; and participate in social events that are held around the world.
