In 2025, three member schools participated in a GNAM Alumni Module Pilot Series, to understand the viability and experience of offering short in-person modules to network alumni. Modules followed the style of Global Network Weeks for students. Alumni had the opportunity to pursue intensive study at a network school, in a focused course that leveraged the perspectives, programs, and faculty expertise of that school. Alongside counterparts from elsewhere in the GNAM network, participants experienced a mix of classes and other activities, and met with experts focused on current business challenges. More information is available below for each of the pilot modules and in these FAQs for the pilot series in general.
Following the successful pilot series, a number of member schools are planning to host alumni modules in 2026 and beyond – details will be announced on this page so check back from time to time to see what is being offered and details on how to apply.
