Alumni Stories

We have launched a new initiative called ‘Alumni Stories’, to showcase Alumni Success Stories from varied industries to the entire Great Lakes community. These stories can be in the form of new entrepreneurial ventures, success stories as entrepreneurs, career transformations and/or new positions, and other stories that you'd like to share with the alumni network.

If you'd like to share your story, please reach out [email protected] (or) [email protected]
