Alumni Engagement Board
The Alumni Engagement Board of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences seeks to provide a link among currently enrolled students and our widespread and successful graduate and undergraduate alumni. The Board serves as a resource for professional contact, social opportunities, position openings, development of major gifts and financial support for students, and a source for feedback and support on department initiatives.
We are now on LinkedIn! Follow us for updates, job postings, and more.
The Board unanimously updated our governing bylaws on Tuesday, June 11, 2019.
Here is a copy of the introductory email sent out on Monday, Dec 11, 2017.
