Millbrook's Alumni Summit: A Transformational Shared Experience

On April 11, 2025, we will hold our third annual Alumni Summit. While the 2023 and 2024 summits brought alumni in careers and with passions related to sustainability and curiosity, the 2025 summit will introduce students to alumni who are demonstrating respect in their careers and extracurricular interests. 

We will welcome 20+ alumni back to campus in April, to speak with students and faculty in this conference-style summit. Alumni presenters will speak on topics of their choice and reflect on respect during three presentation sessions; students will have a plethora of opportunities to ask questions and interact with alums.

Browse our speakers catalog from 2024 on this page - the catalog will be updated to reflect our 2025 speakers by the end of March.
This is a tentative schedule that might shift slightly.
