Alumni Info Just as a building needs a solid foundation to endure over generations, so does a strong theater program need an active alumni body. There are many ways to continue your relationship with your department: through gifts, mentoring students as they go out into the profession and the world, being an expert consultant to the faculty and staff, or assisting in recruitment efforts. Even by keeping in touch with your old Brooklyn friends, you strengthen the department network. Please keep in touch with us. We would like to know where you are and what you are doing, so come and visit us! We look for your advice and we really like bragging about you. If you are a Brooklyn College Alum, please contact your program heads. Noted Alumni
