Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) alumni have joined forces to create the ESM Alumni Advisory Board (AAB).The mission of the ESM Alumni Advisory board is to advance the Department's world-wide recognition, specifically in recruiting and retaining diverse, quality students, preparing these students for the work environment, and promoting the understanding, attractiveness, and perceived value of ESM in industry, research, and academia.

To execute this mission, the Alumni Advisory Board, working closely with Department faculty and staff, will establish an active network of alumni and students, interact with all involved parties to generate strong communication paths, and advocate for Department initiatives and ESM students throughout the "lifecycle" of their recruitment, education, and careers.
