As October wraps up, so does our second busy season of alumni relations. In the past month, over 1,100 alumni and friends came home to the GSB campus for an incredible fall reunion weekend. We also welcomed back the GSB Trust, the GSB Alumni Association Board of Directors, and the Advisory Council for their fall meetings.
With all of the excitement and energy here on campus, one of the biggest things to happen was that we completed the first GSB all-alumni survey in recent history! In the new year, I look forward to sharing with you our key learnings and takeaways from this survey, and how we plan to implement those learnings. For now, however, my main goal is to say
“thank you!” We are grateful for the thousands of you who took the time to give us the feedback we need in order to continue to serve you in the most relevant way that we can.
Onward and upward!
