“When I look back on my time in the MHA program, it truly is one of the most defining points in my life to-date. I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible, developed relationships that would become my very best friends, and really understood what it meant to be part of an amazing alumni network. As Treasurer of the Committee, I have the opportunity to not only give back to an organization that has given me so much, but in a way that allows me to do so within one of my passions (finance!).”

Past President: Aaron Fields ‘10

“I got involved in the HSMP Alumni executive committee after being inspired by the passion I saw other alumni give to this society. So many alumni give their time to help other alums, students, and the MHA program. That was something I wanted to be a part of, and I have truly enjoyed partnering with alumni in this community of service.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of serving on the executive committee multiple times since graduating in 2003. During school and early in our careers my wife (also a 2003 graduate) and I benefited tremendously from the HSMP Alumni Society. After our fellowships ended both of our first jobs were obtained through alumni connections, and as we’ve matured in our careers we’ve continued to benefit from being active in the Alumni Society. Serving on the executive committee gives me an opportunity to give back and support others like I was supported.”

I would be thrilled to be able to provide support to others, so they can likewise have an outstanding experience as a student and alum of this program.”
