“Being a member of the Alumni Network has given me an opportunity to stay involved in the iSchool 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 2005What does it mean to be part of the iSchool Alumni Network?
