Alumni
A community unlike any other
Meet McGowan’s alumni. They share an interest in leadership and community, as well as forging advances and strengthening organizations.
You will find them working in finance, government, nonprofit enterprises, their own start-ups. One has developed a product to ease concerns for African mothers returning to work. Another worked with USAID during the pandemic. Still others work for McKinsey, Booz Allen Hamilton, JPMorgan Chase. Yearly, all are invited to the annual symposium to reconnect, share ideas, and meet the new Fellows. They also serve as coaches in leadership training and as colleagues to one another throughout their careers.
