President | Brandon Gilmore, BS 2013​
Greetings Bulldogs! I'm Brandon Gilmore, a proud Birmingham, AL native and 2013 graduate of AAMU with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and minor in Computer Science. I also hold a MBA from Colorado Technical University, a master of Science in Information Technology & MIS from University of Alabama-Birmingham, and the PMP certification from PMI, Inc.
I currently work as a Cloud & AI Program Manager for Microsoft. Since stepping foot on The Hill (and post graduation), I've served my bulldog community in several capacities, such as SGA for 4 years (ultimately President), various alumni association roles, and curator of The Good Vibes young alumni experience.
I look forward to extending my Sovereign Bulldog Service as AAMU ATL Chapter President in lots of ways, including my top 3 goals:
​
-
Reignite our chapter by re-engaging our distant members
-
Reclaiming our new graduates, young alumni, and new-to-the-area alumni
-
Renewing our chapter's mission by introducing refreshed takes on our existing initiatives
