Alumni Co-operative
A Learning Community
The collaboration that takes place throughout the International Centre for Co-operative Management education programs results in a unique online community. Together, community members enhance their management skills and gain a deep understanding of co-operatives and credit unions that they then bring to their home credit unions, co-ops, associations and support entities.
Alumni and Student Co-operative
Students and graduates stay connected to each other and Saint Mary’s through the Co-operative Management Education Alumni and Student Co-operative (CMEASC). CMEASC engages in social activities and focused learning events (online and in-person), sharing knowledge, discussing emerging research, getting support with their own challenges and goals, as well as keeping their learning alive with others who are like-minded. CMEASC is led by students and alumni and anyone who has engaged in co-operative management education (Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Masters) through Saint Mary’s is eligible to join.
The best way to connect is Facebook and LinkedIn. Find the membership form here ($100 for a lifetime membership).
