The first MAA reunion was held in August 2016 and included happy hour, bowling, MATES pictures, and dinner from Friday evening into Saturday night.
An MAA moderated Q&A session on Facebook where recent graduates were able to openly or annonymously ask questions about what to expect in their post-MATES endeavors. Members from several different classes attended to provide live feedback and discussion to ensure that the younger alumni were prepared to start their next adventures.
