Annual MSS Alumni Dinner

The MSS program celebrated our annual alumni dinner at the Washington Duke on April 3rd. The event, hosted by the MSS GCC (Graduate Consultative Committee), featured an alumni panel sharing experiences from across multiple industries and fields, including Two Sigma and Walt Disney Co., as well as Ph.D. experience.  Department Chair Dr. Merlise Clyde and Master’s Program Director Dr. Dawn Strickland also shared remarks in support of the MSS program, and current students had the opportunity to network with alumni and faculty over drinks and delicious desserts.
