The Graduate Business Alumni Council is an entity comprised of dedicated, passionate representatives of the Saint Mary’s College Graduate business alumni community who are interested in investing their personal time to propel and unite the Saint Mary’s alumni in the form of Network, Learn, and Serve events. Recognizing that programming interests vary across the San Francisco Bay Area, the alumni councils are organized by four local regions: East Bay, South Bay, San Francisco and Sacramento.

Expectations

The expectations of a Graduate Business Alumni Council Member are as follows:

1. One year commitment: calendar year 2012-2013

  “Recruiting” is defined in various ways: (1) recruiting of new students by attending information sessions, being available to consult with prospective students about the program; participating in focus groups for marketing and recruitment feedback; (2) recruiting of new alumni council members by communicating with class reps, making visits to classes to educate current students on the council, recruiting new graduates to join the council.
