Celebrating our multi-generational grads
Earning one’s graduate medical or health sciences degree can be a bonding experience among classmates, but that’s also the case for the many DMU alumni whose parents, grandparents, siblings, children, aunts, uncles and/or cousins are also University graduates. Is having a DMU degree a family affair for you? If so, let DMU know – we want to celebrate you as a Grand Family!
Alumni are the most important lifelong members of the DMU community, and when they share family ties, they’re even more special to the University. The Grand Family Society recognizes these generational alumni for their engagement and support, offers networking opportunities and helps Grands stay connected through exclusive programs and events.
Criteria
YOU are a Grand Family member if you are a graduate who has a child, parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle and/or cousin who is also a DMU graduate or is currently enrolled at DMU.
