“Being a member of the Alumni Network has given me an opportunity to stay involved in the INFO college and to support new cohorts of students. Although we do many things as an alumni group, each time we give a scholarship to a student or sponsor a student event, I am particularly reminded of the importance of our work as Alumni Network members.” ~ Tori Weaver, MIM, class of 2005

“For me, being a member of the Alumni Chapter isn’t just about fundraising, it’s also about being a part of a community. From social events to educational webinars, I really appreciate the opportunities that being a chapter member provides to be involved with the INFO College and other alumni.” ~ Megan Fratta, MLS, class of 2016
