SUNY Geneseo Economics Alumni Network

The graduates listed below have indicated a willingness to help answer questions that you may have about the job search process,
resumes, graduate school, their MBA programs, etc.

All of them have volunteered because they care about Geneseo in general, and the Economics program specifically, which means
when you contact them you need to be polite and professional, first impressions matter and someone on this list might just help you
get a job someday, so please be respectful.

If you know of any other graduates that would be willing to be included here, please have them e-mail their information to me: annala@geneseo.edu.

If any of the information is incorrect or needs to be updated please contact me: annala@geneseo.edu
