Some of DU’s most successful alumni are coming back to campus for the Master’s Program, a one-day event that connects alumni with current students.
The event, which is scheduled for April 7, has been on a four-year hiatus, but the Office of Alumni Relations resurrected it as a way for alumni to share experiences and insights about their career path.
“The University is striving to offer as many opportunities as possible to re-engage our alumni while making sure current students have access to the many years of professional achievement these alums have garnered,” says Jeffrey Howard, executive director of alumni relations.
The program will feature 15 prominent alumni in nine different academic departments across campus.
Alumni volunteering their time for the program include:
- Catherine Arthur (BBA ’03) pricing manager with Qwest Communications
