Enhancing the alumni and student experience

Alumni Association Strategic Plan
In 2013 the Executive Council developed a three-year business plan to help guide its efforts. The plan has already yielded great success, including the creation of a legacy admissions process, increased participation in funding for the White Coat Ceremony, and the building of a Reunion volunteer and giving program.
The Rush Medical College Alumni Association Business Plan 2014-2017 is focused on the following:
- Supporting medical students, residents and fellows
- Enhancing the value of the Rush degree
- Promoting alumni engagement
Stay tuned for updates on the business plan throughout the year.
