Mission:

To create and develop professional and social connections among University of Michigan Organizational Studies alumni and between those alumni and the current University of Michigan Organizational Studies community.

Vision:

• Regular communication among and between Organizational Studies Program alumni, students, and staff via printed and electronic newsletters, the Organizational Studies department website, and the Organizational Studies Alumni Association website.

• Successful organization of events which enhance the professional capacities of Association members while fostering social relations and Maize and Blue spirit.

• Cultivation of interest in, respect for, and support of the Organizational Studies program by alumni in the communities in which they live and work.

This Vision will be accomplished by:

• Organizational Studies Alumni Association members serving as visible leaders within local communities.

• The organization of activities which aim to serve local interests and needs and are consistent with the objectives of the University of Michigan and Organizational Studies communities.

We encourage all OS alumni, current students, staff and administration, and those with related academic and professional interests to become a member of the OSAA in order to access all features and content and be able to actively engage with the online community.

Registration on the site is free, and we encourage you to submit your details and preferences to stay connected by visiting regularly, receiving newsletters, and attending events. Certain features are exclusive to dues-paying members, including access to the Membership Directory and GoMaps, Alumni Spotlight Interviews, Event Details, posting to the Classifieds and Discussion Groups, and utilizing other Networking and Mentorship tools.
