On Friday, November 8, 2024, Asia School of Business (ASB) welcomed the MIT Alumni Association delegation for a day of collaborative exchange and strategic insights.

ASB’s team—Renato Lima de Oliveira, Associate Dean of Student Journey and Associate Professor II (also a research affiliate at MIT); Rod Garcia, former MIT Sloan Assistant Dean of Admissions and current consultant at ASB; Yvonne Tang Yee Wen, Assistant Director of Student Journey; and Malisse Tan, Director of the Career Development Office—hosted MIT’s Kevin Wesley, Director of Alumni Outreach; Nureen Das, Associate Director of International Outreach; and Julie Fletcher, Associate Director from the Office of Global Initiatives.

The visit began with an engaging discussion, where the MIT delegation explored ASB’s unique journey while sharing their approach to global alumni engagement. The conversation was followed by a campus tour and a luncheon, where they were joined by Anella Munro, Professor of Economics, and Jaime Suarez, Assistant Director of Corporate Engagement and Partnership.

This exchange brought forward valuable ideas for enhancing ASB’s alumni strategy, and we look forward to building on this partnership with MIT in the pursuit of deeper connections and shared innovation.
