Welcome to the Sociology Alumni page. We want to create a social location where sociology graduates of various years can come together. Our hope is to build a committed core of alumni who will advance the department and its current students.
Our fourfold purpose for the alumni connection includes:
To give alumni an opportunity to reconnect with the institution that had some significant influence on their lives,
To utilize our alumni's skills, knowledge, and connections to enrich current students' experiences in sociology and to increase their career opportunities through mentoring, internships, etc.,
Using alumni postgraduate experiences to help us assess how well the department is meeting its goals and objectives, and
Give alumni the chance to financially strengthen the department and help meet the special needs of sociology students.
Are you looking for a chance to get involved? We are currently looking for sociology grads to join the Steering Committee which will generate ideas for the Sociology Alumni and organize the next Alumni Gathering. If you are interested, contact Michael Cushion at (616) 632-2079 or cushiw@aquinas.edu.
