Keeping in Touch
With 374 graduates, the SMA alumni network continues to grow and expand. Alumni keep in touch with the School's latest news and developments through the quarterly newsletter.
Network Growing Strong
Alumni also keep in touch with each other through the online searchable Alumni Directory. The directory serves both as an important career networking resource and as a handy way to see what one's old classmates are up to. The directory can only be viewed by SMA alumni or students. User name and password are available from the Career Services Coordinator.
