Young Alumni Committee and Events

There is a committee dedicated to planning events and programs for Young Alumni, known as #SMUYA. A young alum is someone who has graduated within the past 10 years and is under 30 years of age. The Young Alumni Committee is comprised of young alumni volunteers who plan social and networking events throughout the year. 

The Alumni Office hosts professional networking and fun social events for all alumni throughout the year. Keep up to date on our events page, and make sure to sign up for the monthly e-newsletter to learn about upcoming opportunities.
