Alumni

 

The School of Information Science has over 3,600 alumni, representing one of our most important constituencies. Our graduates are our most valuable means to recruit new students and share opportunities with them. We want to stay in touch with our alumni, and the principal way we do that is through the newsletter, published each fall and spring. In addition, many alumni are reached by phone each fall in the annual phonathon. There is an alumni association, and each issue of the newsletter tells how to pay the modest annual membership fee. We encourage alumni to report their activities to the School so that we can include them in the alumni activities section of the newsletter and feature them on our website and social media. We're very proud of our graduates and their success!
