Alumni Network

As a Penn State Smeal MBA, you’re joining the largest alumni organization in the world with more than 560,000 living graduates.

Our alumni are renowned for their Penn State pride and a willingness to help students and fellow graduates. No matter where you are in the world, you’re bound to run into a Penn State alumnus. So when you graduate, you’re saying hello to a world of opportunity.

The alumni network will also impact your life as an applicant and student. Alumni advise some of our student associations, connect with prospective candidates, represent the program at events, record webinars, speak in classes, speak at the college, and come to campus to recruit.

Along with those engagements, our alumni also give back to the program as part of the Alumni Advisory Board.  You will partner with a member of our MBA Alumni Advisory Board to develop a personalized strategy that will help you achieve your career goals. Members of the board – all proven professionals in their own right – return to campus several times each year to provide career advice and support.
