The alumni committee does this in the following ways:
- Organize engaging social, educational, and fundraising events for alumni.
- Provide support and programming for students, prospective students, and alumni.
- Foster collaboration between alumni, the department, and faculty.
- Share professional updates and achievements with the Rush OT alumni community.
