Dear Schulich Alumni

Introducing Schulich Pulse — our brand-new alumni newsletter with a fresh look, dynamic feel, and a name that captures the energy and heartbeat of our global community. In every edition, you’ll find the latest stories, events, and opportunities to connect with fellow alumni, no matter where in the world you are.

This summer, our chapters — from Dallas and Dubai to Beijing and Montreal — are hosting events to inspire, connect, and celebrate our community. See what’s happening in your city and connect with your Chapter Ambassador
