We are an active social organization that serves all the 3,000 strong Ross alumni community in Chicago. We have a host of events every year, ranging from social & networking events, to our Luncheons with Leaders series, professor presentations, to full conferences. The purpose of our group is to encourage active participation among all Chicago alumni, both in Chicago and in the suburbs.
What We Do
Social & Networking Events:
Once a month, the Ross Alumni Club hosts a social event targeted at Ross alums. The main purpose of these events is to network, meet up with old friends, and make new contacts. Our events have been at pubs, restaurant bars, hotels, or at concert venues. The atmosphere is relaxed, and everyone is encouraged to attend.
Luncheon with Leaders Series:
The Club regularly offers a luncheon series, where we bring in prominent Ross alums to present on various topics.
Seminars and Conferences:
Our fifth annual Spring Conference was April 17, 2008.
