While we have been able to maintain connections with some of our former students, it is clear that the time has come for us to formalize the process of staying in touch with our alumni. We are exceptionally proud of our graduates and want to know about, celebrate, and share in their successes. The benefits of doing so include: being able to invite alumni to special events at ASMS, feature and highlight alumni and their stories in our annual report, and as well, invite them to be guest speakers here, inspiring our current generation of ASMS students.
