Welcome
Let's continue to thrive and grow.
Connecting with others is an important part of the human experience – one that's been limited due to the coronavirus.
The worldwide pandemic has impacted all areas of life – including causing the cancellation or postponement of most in-person events. But, not being able to physically gather doesn't mean our alumni community can't thrive and grow. That's why we're happy to announce our Alumni Association's Virtual Event Series.
This series, which is exclusively for alumni, offers a wide range of events.
Although events are always free, some have limits on the number of alumni who can participate – so register early to ensure your spot. Once you’ve registered, we'll send you a Zoom link via email.
*Please read the notes at the bottom of the page.
