Alumni Profiles
We are excited to launch a series of profiles on recent alums and where they are in their early careers! The goal of the series is to spotlight our already successful alums as they navigate their fields while giving advice to our current students.
On behalf of the Office of Alumni Affairs and Development, thank you to each of our talent alumni who took the time to share their insights and experiences!
We look forward to seeing the impact your profiles and ones done by other alumni have on our student community.
