Greetings from the EWMBAA Alumni Affairs Committee
The Alumni Affairs Committee is striving to create a new charter for the Haas EWMBA student and the Alumni that will encourage greater participation by all of its members. Our goal is to better connect the HAAS Alumni with the current students by organizing targeted events designed to widen the HAAS network.
Programs we are working on:
- Analyzing the feasibility of organizing a fundraising event with the HAAS Alumni
- Assessing the interest of creating industry specific Alumni panels to help fellow students connect with other Alumni.
- Participating in the various Alumni events that are being conducted throughout the year and update the Alumni blog with information on the event.
Upcoming HAAS Alumni Events:
Mark your calendar for the following HAAS Alumni events below and stay tuned for more details to come.
