Join the Community
An alumni network is only as good as its membership! You are considered a DBMS Alumni if you have:
- Worked previously as a DBMS employee (ie office, admin, launch driver, coach)
- Participated in any of the junior/HS DBMS programs and are at least 18 years (for solicitation purposes)
If you meet the criteria and would like to join the alumni network, please fill out this Google form so that we can have your current information or contact us.
As we build out our DBMS Alumni community, we would love to know what you are doing now. Please fill out our “DBMS Alumni, Where are they now?” form.
