All strong business school have one thing in common: great alumni that are involved with the school. At Sauder, we’ve always had the first part.
It is my contention that we graduate some amazing people and we are all part of a great tradition. In the last few years everyone at the school has been working hard at the second part, getting our alumni involved. The Commerce Undergraduate Society joined the effort last year by creating an Alumni Relations Director and allocating part of our budget to provide opportunities for alumni to reconnect with your alma mater.

TASTE: Take a Student to Eat
When you were in Sauder, did you ever wish you could have met an alumnus in your field of interest in the Vancouver business world? Well, here’s your chance to give that opportunity to a current Sauder student who wants it just as much as you did! The Alumni Relations committee wants to give you a chance to continue to be a part of your alma mater! You will be paired with a student in your field who has similar interests, so you have a base to start conversations on, and will take them out for a lunch to get to know them and give them a chance to pick your brains and you a chance to reflect back on your times as a Sauder student! There are only 40 spots available for this opportunity, so apply now! The deadline to submit your application is December 9th.

Alumni Kickoff Event
Our Alumni Kickoff event is a yearly event where we invite alumni from Sauder and the Robert H. Lee school to come out and share with us how to improve our efforts to engage alumni. We also share with you what great opportunities for you to get involved are upcoming in the year. Lastly, you’ll be able to meet other alumni and some selected student leaders. The event is hosted in late September every year!
Thank you to those of you that were able to come out this year. We learned alot and we will keep you involved as to how we use your feedback to improve our initiatives. Check back next August 2010 for updates on next year’s event!
