Alumni Drive Innovation at Questrom
Questrom alumni play an important role in bringing real business challenges into the classroom and helping students gain the confidence and experience to thrive after graduation. Whether you’re exploring a strategic challenge at your organization, mentoring a student team, or providing industry insight, your involvement helps create transformative learning experiences rooted in the realities of today’s business world.
At the same time, alumni often gain fresh thinking, innovative ideas, and meaningful connections with motivated emerging talent. Many alumni partners discover that students bring new energy and perspectives to challenges that internal teams may not always have the time or freedom to explore.
“Our alumni advocate for Questom talent because they know our students are prepared and will add value.”
Monica Parker-James
Associate Dean of Industry Relations, Career Services, and Alumni Initiatives
Alumni Engagement Matters
Questrom students and alumni share a common foundation of values, ambition, collaboration, and curiosity. That shared experience creates especially impactful mentorship and partnership opportunities. Alumni provide trusted guidance about industry trends and workplace challenges, and understand what our students are capable of, because they once sat in the same classrooms, worked through many of the same projects, and launched careers from the same community.
“Alumni represent a powerful but under-leveraged resource for the cause of education. They are the largest and only permanent constituency each university has, far outnumbering faculty, staff, or current students.”
Andy Shaindlin
Senior Adviser & Consultant, Alumni Engagement and huron
