Welcome to the EMBA Alumni Network!

One of the best ways to stay engaged is to come back to school for our academic seminars or visit our in-person class days at the Business School.

You may sit in on a course or two in the morning and/or afternoon and join us for lunch. This is a great way to meet new faculty, students, alumni, and staff, as well as keep your business acumen sharp.

See our calendars for dates and courses; we currently have one cohort running and four courses to choose from during most terms.

• Cohort 44 Calendar
• Cohort 45 Calendar

Please reach out to Paul.Wood@ucdenver.edu to arrange your class visit.

Meet our Alumni Advisory Council

These dedicated alumni volunteer as members of the University of Colorado Denver Executive MBA Alumni Advisory Council (EMBA AAC) to foster closer ties between the alumni of the University of Colorado Denver Executive MBA program and its current students, faculty, and staff. The AAC provides leadership to help the EMBA program achieve its mission and serves as an advocate for the program, including soliciting financial support.

The Council has 12 seats and requires members to serve one three-year term. Membership terms are staggered so that a few members roll-off each year to allow new alumni (recent and past grads) to participate. AAC members meet quarterly, and occasional in-between for small committee work to advance the EMBA program goals or help host EMBA events.

Please reach out to Bethany.Cape@ucdenver.edu if you are interested in more information on joining the EMBA AAC.

Social impact project partners

As many of you know, we offer service opportunities to share your knowledge and skills with community organizations to provide a transformative impact. Additionally, you may partner with organizations to implement sustainable environmental and social changes within your business.

Currently, we are partnering with Denver Urban Gardens (DUG). We share in their mission to “provide access, skills, and resources for people to grow healthy food in community and regenerate urban green spaces.”

To support their vision (for a sustainable urban future where people are deeply and directly connected to the earth, each other, and the food they eat):

· CU Denver EMBA adopted a community garden located at the Greenlee Elementary school

· We offer scheduled EMBA community workdays in our, and sometimes other community gardens, a few times a year.

It’s a great way to get out and meet fellow students and alumni, catch up with faculty and staff, get fresh air, move around, and make a real impact on our local community.

Additionally, each year DUG offers consulting projects to our current EMBA students, to work through a real business problem to harness their MBA skills, and help DUG achieve their mission.

Check out DUGs website for more information on their incredibly active gardening community, and learn about how they are “cultivating FOOD, COMMUNITY, and CLIMATE resilience on a human scale.”
