AlumniFire - now live!

  • The Office of Alumni Relations and Ross alumni have joined forces on AlumniFire – a networking platform designed specifically for university alumni to interact with one another and with current students
  • Over 700 alumni have joined AlumniFire, which launched in September via this Ross post
  • Co-founded by a Ross alum, AlumniFire allows alums to choose from a variety of pre-selected services they’re willing to offer to fellow alumni and to students, including informational interviews, networking, resume reviews, start up advice, job shadowing, etc.
  • AlumniFire is a great resource for students and alumni to engage with the school and to mentor fellow alumni/students without having to come back to campus
