About the Team

The Alumni Relations office at Ave Maria University is dedicated to fostering lifelong connections among our graduates. We organize events, maintain the alumni directory, facilitate mentorship and career opportunities, and serve as a bridge between our alumni community and the university.

Whether you graduated last year or were part of the founding class, we're here to help you stay connected to the Ave Maria family. Reach out anytime — we'd love to hear from you.
