Alumni Network
The Alumni Network is an effort to proactively sustain relationships with AAPD program alumni and provide programmatic opportunities to early and mid-level career professionals with disabilities. AAPD launched the Alumni Network in 2020 thanks to generous support from the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation.
The Alumni Network established an Ambassadors Council, composed of AAPD Summer Internship alumni, to lead and influence decision-making that directly impacts this mission. Members of the Ambassadors Council represent diversity across various ages (representing classes from 2004 to 2018), disabilities, race, ethnicities, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
