Beyond the Classroom ExperiencesCareer/Internship OpportunitiesM&T students are some of the most highly sought after candidates in the job market. Their unique skill set is known and appreciated among industry leaders.

Alumni Networking and InvolvementThe M&T Program boosts over 1,400 alumni, many of whom remain actively engaged and dedicated to the Program. Through several channels, M&T students interact and network with this distinguished group, who are at the top of their fields in high tech companies and entrepreneurial ventures, venture capital, investment banking, medicine, academia, and many other fields. Our alumni serve as career mentors and they play a major role in helping students secure internship and employment opportunities. Periodic Alumni Lunches, mentoring events, and an annual Career Dinner are a few of the events that encourage these interactions.In addition, the M&T Program hosts M&T Connect, an online portal that is exclusive to students and alumni and serves to link the two groups. This portal is dedicated to helping M&T students and alumni stay connected and share in their pursuit of business and technology opportunities, research, and other activities.
