Hear from some of last year’s attendees:

Robert Phillips (BBA ’06)

“The inaugural Goodman Alumni Summit was a resounding success – it was wonderful to reconnect with old classmates, hear the latest and greatest from current Goodman professors, and share insights and observations with Dean Wright.”

Sean Chamberland (BBA '17)

“The Goodman Alumni Summit is about connection—deepening our ties to each other and the school, rekindling old friendships, and forging new ones. It’s about sharing knowledge—learning from one another’s successes and developing skills that will last us a lifetime.”
