Alumni Club Connection

The Michigan Ross Alumni Club of Chicago strives to keep alumni connected to each other and the University by offering a diverse array of programming.  I want to welcome recent graduates and keep seasoned alums engaged as well with thought leadership, networking, career support and more. 

I am always amazed by what our alums are doing in a variety of industries and would love to feature alumni at our events.  If you have an idea for an upcoming event, please reach out to me, Anand Christopher  I'd love to hear from you!
