On December 31, the alumni census in North America closes. If you haven’t already participated, you are encouraged to do so today. The census will help the University gain a better understanding of our alumni community and create more meaningful programs—that best represent all alumni interests.
When you take the census, you will be asked for contact and preference updates, as well as voluntary self-identification information. The creation of the census was encouraged by the Diversity Advisory Council (DAC), led by University Trustees Lizette Pérez-Deisboeck ’87 and Lance Drummond ’85S (MBA), as well as Alumni Board and DAC member Noah Pizmony-Levy Drezner ’00. The census will be open to alumni who live in countries outside of North America in 2020.
