The Sociedad de Alumnos del ITAM, SALITAM (ITAM's Student Representative Body) allows our students and alumni to keep in contact with the institute and community, to continue building and strengthening internal networks and to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between ITAM and its students and alumni.
