Nearly 25,000 Stanford Graduate School of Business alumni are uniquely committed and responsive to each other, the School, and GSB students.
"Professionally speaking, Stanford opens doors. I also enjoy personally connecting with other GSB friends and colleagues through the United Kingdom Alumni Chapter, which offers a range of activities including CEO presentations, theater events, pub nights, and even a polo match. And being an Alumni Interviewer for the admissions process allows me to keep in touch with the energy and vision of future generations of the GSB community."
