Meet the Board
Graduate Business Alumni Board
The Graduate Business Alumni Association is advised by an alumni board which helps plan events and outreach. They also provide feedback on the benefits and services provided for alumni.
We invite alumni who are excited to share their St. Thomas experiences and want to continue to be involved with and help shape the future of the University. You will participate in quarterly board meetings, serve on a committee, attend St. Thomas events (virtual or in-person), network with other alumni, and be an ambassador for your fellow graduate business alumni.
