Through their continued involvement with the school as mentors, visiting executives, recruiting contacts and internship providers, Tuck alumni keep an open channel between the school and the business world. Tuck students we interviewed could not say enough about the strength of student-alumni interactions, emphasizing that the vitality of Tuck\u2019s close-knit community endures long after graduation.<\/p>\n<p>One second-year student we interviewed shared that he had pretty high expectations with regard to the school\u2019s alumni network, \u201cbut still underestimated how strong the network can be.\u201d He explained, \u201cThe connections were instant. I received same-day responses, all the time. There is a strong pay-it-forward mentality and a genuine interest in seeing people from Tuck do well. Alums go out of their way to help with networking, job preparation, anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tuck alumni also stay connected to the school through its annual campaign. According to Tuck\u2019s Web site, the school boasts the highest giving rate\u201467%\u2014of all U.S. MBA programs. In fact, Tuck\u2019s giving rate tops that of other business schools by more than 30 percentage points, according to a July 2009 press release, and the school\u2019s current online annual giving page boasts, \u201cTuck\u2019s giving rate continues to set the standard among business schools: the alumni participation for TAG [Tuck Annual Giving] \u201911 reached 70.5%. This is a new record for Tuck, and it sets the standard for all MBA programs by a wide margin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on other defining characteristics of the MBA program at Tuck or one of 15 other top business schools, please check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.mbamission.com\/collections\/insider-s-guides\" target = \"blank\">mbaMission Insider\u2019s Guides<\/a>.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth has roughly 9,000 living alumni, and although that figure may sound small compared with a larger school\u2019s alumni base, numerous students and graduates we interviewed reported that Tuck has an active and close-knit alumni community.
