ICS Alumni Network
Alumni
Since the program’s founding in 2000, Hitotsubashi ICS has graduated almost 350 students. ICS’s small annual student body encourages the building of strong ties and a sustainable network that continues long after our students have become alumni.

Hitotsubashi ICS Alumni on Facebook
These sites offer a virtual "ba" (world-renowned ICS Professor Ikujiro Nonaka uses this Japanese term to mean “a shared space for emerging relationships”) for Hitotsubashi ICS alumni to stay connected and be updated on what is happening at ICS and with other alumni. Alums can post news and career opportunities, initiate ad hoc events, update their profiles, reconnect with an old learning teammate, and are kept updated on all things ICS, including information on reunions, networking, and special events.
Membership
The ICS Alumni Network is open to all graduates of Hitotsubashi ICS and its Facebook equivalent is open to alumni who are also on FB. Current MBA/DBA candidates can also access the site as read-only members so that they can share the ba and tap into one of the largest resources at Hitotsubashi ICS available to them.
