Alumni Involvement

We encourage our graduates to stay in touch with us through a wide variety of avenues. 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.
