A Message from the Office of Alumni Relations
Welcome to The Paul Merage School Of Business Alumni Network
Whether you are a past, present or future grad, the Office of Alumni Relations
is here to serve you. Our mission is to help facilitate relationships and communication
among and between the school and its alumni for the purposes of building commitment
and growing in mutually beneficial ways.
All alumni of the School are considered automatic members of the Alumni Network.
The Alumni Network recently instituted this new structure - providing universal
membership for all alumni at no cost. This means that your Alumni Network is
a global network of 5,500+ members of UC Irvine's graduate business programs.
Seventy percent of all alums live in California and others are spread across
the United States and 21 different countries across the globe.

You might wonder "how can the school provide such an impressive list of benefits
to all alumni at no cost?" Your universal alumni membership has been granted
at no cost in order to direct your attention and support to The Paul Merage
School of Business Annual Fund Campaign. Alumni participation directs critically
needed resources which help improve the school's national reputation and the
quality of programs we are able to offer. Any amount counts. Alumni are encouraged
to make an Annual Fund tax-deductible gift of any size via the online e-giving
site at www.egiving.uci.edu
and be sure to designate The Paul Merage School of Business! Also at this site
you can check to see if your employer will match your gift. Matching corporate
gifts can help to double or even triple alumni support!
Finally, we cordially invite you to inquire about the new Dean's Leadership
Circle. This is where you can show a higher level of commitment directly to
the dean to provide critically needed funding to the most important areas and
allows the school to move quicker to the next level of success. In fact, as
more funding is provided the reputation of our school will continue to increase.
This added value is then enjoyed by all alumni who hold degrees from The Paul
Merage School of Business - past, present and future.
