Minutes
from November 20th :
We want to:
- Gauge grad student interest in better alumni relations: in order to prove to the administration.
- Keep track of GPSS alumni: they will be more likely to participate in alumni events, so we should start now for the future.
- Encourage companies to send USC alums to the upcoming Career Networking Event
- Email out a short blurb asking grad students to sign up/comment if they want better alumni relations.
- Draft a short letter to send GPSS alumni
- Draft a letter to the administration asking for everything we want
- Find old GPSS records to get alumni contact info
- Research how departments currently keep track of alumni
