The MPPGA Alumni Association fosters and maintains professional connections to build a supportive alumni community.

Established in Spring 2021, the Alumni Association Board (AAB) directs the Association’s activities, with appointment through a nomination process. Aside from meeting once every month to discuss current and upcoming initiatives, AAB members also meet regularly with the alumni community, program staff, faculty, and current students to coordinate views and input.

The Alumni Association has led several events since its formation, including alumni socials, orientations for incoming MPPGA students, and an Alumni Reunion in Spring 2022.

All members of the MPPGA student and alumni community are welcome to attend AAB meetings. If you have any suggestions, questions, and feedback for the Board, please reach out at mppga.aab@gmail.com.
