AHSI Alumni Network
The AHSI alumni network will serve as an opportunity for former AHSI students to connect, interact and support each other individually and/or collectively. An effective alumni network would also serve as a resource for AHSI organizations as they continue to provide high school to career and college transition support to alumni.

Phase 1: AHSI Post Secondary Institution Database
This directory has the potential to serve multiple purposes. 1) Inform AHSI Alumni, current students, faculty and staff as to which post-secondary institutions alumni attend; 2) allow alumni to find AHSI intermediaries and staff; 3) inform AHSI career & college transition staff about special programs, organizations, and services on select campuses.
