Message from the President
The Business Alumni Association is a group of highly motivated individuals with a simple goal of providing value: value to our growing base of alumni, business students and our partners because we believe we are a part of a community of alumni who make an impact.
As the current President of the BAA, I feel lucky to be leading a group of talented, hard-working individuals who have the tenacity to challenge the status quo and continually improve our programs, events and influence in the community year-over-year. I hope that you will help us continue to add value with your support.
