Alumni Advisory Councils
MBA Alumni Advisory Council
The mission of the MBA Alumni Advisory Council (MAAC) is to strengthen the engagement of Georgetown McDonough MBA alumni in the activities of the school and among the members of core constituencies — MBA alumni, students, and faculty and staff — toward the broader goals of the program.
Committee for Impactful Relationships for C-Level Executives
The Committee for Impactful Relationships for C-Level Executives (CIRCLE) will strengthen the engagement and networking capability of Georgetown McDonough’s executive degree programs and alumni while increasing general awareness of the school’s degree offerings, alumni, and students. CIRCLE members are charged with advising the senior associate dean for executive degree programs on curricular, co-curricular, and alumni programs; promoting broader alumni engagement; and collaborating with the Office of Alumni Relations to increase alumni engagement.
Master of Science in Finance Advisory Council
The MSF Advisory Council will serve as a critical link between the MSF and industry. Members serve two-year terms and are charged with advising the program’s leadership on a wide range of areas including curriculum, new initiatives, student career readiness, corporate outreach, and corporate engagement. Council members also are encouraged to connect with alumni and current students during major events and to serve as ambassadors for the MSF program within the business community.
