Data according to alumni database on April 1, 2022
Despite the coronavirus crisis, many of our alumni volunteered their services for the University in 2021, and some of them did so in more ways than one. For example, alumni contribute as coaches or mentors, members of the Alumni Panel take part in our research by replying to surveys, and alumni give us feedback and volunteer to give guest lectures for our students. Many alumni also work in alumni associations and student recruitment, among other things.
