Finding alumni volunteers

FULLY Engaged

Request for a personalized alumni list tailored to your needs. Work with an Alumni Engagement team member to identify alumni for your specific program needs. For example, we have found
- LatinX alumni in STEM with advanced degrees for a mentorship program
- Alumni working with AI within their careers that are not in traditional tech roles to speak at a symposium
- Alumni who graduated from NSM within the last 10 years, who live within 60 miles of campus to invite to an alumni mixer
Supporting alumni volunteers

- Thank you gifts – we can provide thank you gifts when appropriate
