About Our Alumni

MSTM and certificate alumni belong to three different alumni organizations, each of which offer graduates networking opportunities and a range of formal and informal supports.

MTIConnect is the alumnni group for graduates of the transportation management masters and certificate programs. The association provides helpful resources for current and past students through its newsletter, web site, capstone coach program, and networking events.

Transportation Management graduates are also members of the Lucas Graduate School of Business Alumni Network, for the school's 50,000+ alumni.

And graduates are, of course, also part of the university-wide SJSU Alumni Network.
