Alumni Engagement Board
The Alumni Engagement Board of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences seeks to provide a link among currently enrolled students and our widespread and successful graduate and undergraduate alumni. The Board serves as a resource for professional contact, social opportunities, position openings, development of major gifts and financial support for students, and a source for feedback and support on department initiatives.
