Alumni Info
Alumni of the Organizational Studies Program are an important community because they represent a link from OS to a broader environment beyond the boundaries of the University of Michigan. As they make their mark as leaders and innovators in a variety of fields, OS alumni want to keep a connection to the Program that helped prepare them for career and life goals. We hope that our alumni will serve as valuable contributors to the Program's continuing development and success by taking an active role in Organizational Studies.

Opportunities to Stay Connected
The Organizational Studies Program would like to invite OS alums to join our new networking group on LinkedIn, a professional networking website. Members of LinkedIn create professional profiles of their academic and career background and experience. Members can also create connections with members of their own organizations, other organizations, and alumni from their college or academic program.

We have created the University of Michigan Organizational Studies Community – a networking group that connects OS community members (alumni, staff, faculty, and current students) to each other in order to create professional connections in various fields. As you begin your post- collegiate experience, this networking group gives you the opportunity to stay in touch with one another as well as find new connections with alumni in various career fields or higher education avenues.
Opportunities to Stay Involved
As we seek new opportunities and educational experiences for our students, we look to OS alumni as a valuable resource. Below are some ways for you to contribute to the Organizational Studies Program.

Work opportunities. Hands-on experience is desired by most OS students because it allows them to combine their education with real world experience. You can assist by providing information on internships and full-time opportunities offered by your organization. Contact the Student Services Coordinator, Jessica Santos with information about internship opportunities or full-time opportunities.

We also host companies who would like to recruit OS students. Companies such as Deloitte & Touche, Bloomberg, and other companies have come to Organizational Studies to recruit for both internship opportunities and full-time opportunities. Companies interested in recruiting OS students can contact the Student Services CoordinatorJessica Santos to set up information sessions or interview days.

Event participation. The Organizational Studies Program has a number of venues for you to share your experiences with OS undergrads. From MOST (Monthly Organizational Studies Talks) and other special presentations, you're invited to share your story and insights. Recent visits from alumni have included:

  • Kate Heinze (‘05), PhD candidate, Kellogg School of Business - “Forage for thought: Mobilizing codes in the movement for grass-fed meat and dairy products”

  • Rohan Ma ('06), Chicago Climate Exchange - "Organizational Dynamics of Climate Change"

  • Gina Valo (Dec '05), Google - "Fostering Creativity and Collaboration in the Workplace"

  • Anne (Aufhammer) Orloff ('02), Boston University - Co-presenter "Philanthropy, Development and Organizations"


  • Individual mentoring. Students have a strong interest in speaking with alumni one-on-one about careers and about the path taken to reach job goals. You can be a valuable resource by mentoring a student via email, phone interviews, or in-person meetings, as schedules allow.

    If you have an interest in any of these options, please contact us at jjsantos@umich.edu.
