Hult Alumni Magazine | Page 5

A very warm welcome from the Alumni Relations Team Over the past year we have welcomed 2,100 new alumni to our community, which is now over 21,000 strong. 2018 also saw us celebrate a year in which over a third of our alumni community engaged with the school. More than 400 alumni took advantage of the elective courses we offered and more than 200 of you participated at the alumni weekends held across four campuses. We are extremely happy to see that growing numbers of you are meeting and reconnecting via Hult Connect, Chapter events, and the Global Alumni Day. More than 1,000 alumni got involved in the Global Alumni Day, and there are 7,000+ alumni actively engaged on Hult Connect, sharing job opportunities, hiring alumni, making new connections, and simply keeping up to date with all things Hult. The year’s biggest news headline is undoubtedly the school’s achievement of becoming the first and only business school in the U.S. to be recognized by three prestigious international accrediting bodies: AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA. This new status is testament to the quality of our forward-thinking, global approach to business education and the on-going success of our graduates around the world. Global change is accelerating fast and we need to continue to learn to see things differently in order to stay one step ahead. We encourage all our alumni to come back and renew or reskill through our various lifelong learning opportunities. The Hult Alumni Magazine is just one of the ways we hope to connect you to our amazing alumni community and update you on important school news. The theme of this year’s magazine is disruptive innovation, and more than 50 alumni and faculty members have contributed by sharing their stories on how the school is finding new ways to educate and engage our students and alumni alike. A big thank you to all of you who come back to give back. Happy reading!
