New Alumni Kick-Off
Find out what it means to be a Rotman grad and part of a global alumni network at the New Alumni Kick-off.
Your relationship with Rotman doesn’t end when you graduate – it’s just beginning! We hope that you will stay connected and maintain a lifelong relationship with the School and each other.
This important session explores the many ways you can stay connected and leverage your Rotman and U of T affiliation after graduation. It’s also your chance to meet and network with alumni volunteers from all Rotman programs.
“This is a great opportunity to stay in touch with the Rotman community, meet new friends, and
learn how to best utilize the alumni network for career development.”
- Rafael Soliaman (MBA ’18)
