IMPORTANCE OF ALUMNI RECOGNISED
One of The Graduate College of Dance initiatives is to establish an alumni relations program. As lifelong members of a shared community, our goal is for all our alumni to feel welcome and valued. All schools need a viable and strong network of alumni in order to:

  1. Maintain the friendships and sense of connectedness that is experienced by most students.
  2. Provide support for the school through mentors and guest speakers.
  3. Maintain history, values and tradition.
  4. Maintain a connection with a community and a sense of belonging in an increasingly alienating world.

Through communications, connecting alumni to The Graduate College of Dance and one another, celebrating milestones and hosting events we hope to enrich the lives of our alumni.
