Outreach plan
How Ross students should structure alumni outreach.
Use the school connection to earn attention, then make the message specific enough that a busy professional knows why the conversation matters.
Weekly workflow
Reference Ross coursework, clubs, or projects before asking for recruiting advice.
Build separate lists for alumni in New York, Chicago, and regional offices.
Ask for path advice first; save referral asks for after a real conversation.
