IB² - International Business Student and Alumni Network
 
IB² stands for International Business Bond - a network that allows current students and the University of Missouri-St. Louis international business alumni to form partnerships via an online platform. Students and alumni can interact on the platform via messaging, email, and forum and group discussions allowing all members to network collaborately. Students gain valuable insight from the knowledge and personal experience that the alumni possess and are wanting to share. In return alumni benefit from reconnecting with the UM-St. Louis student experience and gain the students' fresh perspectives of today’s international environment.

Becoming part of the IB² requires an active commitment – your registration! So come and join us today!
