Whether you are a recent graduate or earned your degree several years ago, it is a good idea to reach out to the Institutional Advancement Office and register your contact information. That way you will be able to take advantage of the benefits associated with being an alumnus.

Wider Professional Network – Alumni associations are rife with opportunities for expanding a graduate’s professional network. Graduates have the opportunity to network with recent graduates as well as graduates several years their senior and these connections can lead to internships, jobs, clients, partnerships and other valuable career opportunities.

Personal development – Whilst having an engaged alumni network is beneficial to the institution, the benefit to the alumni themselves should not be overlooked. The alumni professional mentoring journey will be very rewarding. This will help them to learn a lot about themselves and their own career trajectory.

Access to College Resources Post Graduation – This might include access to library materials, extensive journal and periodical databases, and even educational amenities on campus, such as certain labs and equipment.

Connect with Professors – Graduates could connect with professors in their field to gain worthwhile experience or guidance with a particular research topic through this platform.

Connect with the Community – Many associations work with their local community so that alumni can provide assistance to the area while also having the opportunity to build relationships with community members and leaders.

Socializing – Graduates can take a break from work and post-college life and reconnect with former classmates as well as other alumni, while making social connections that could lead to lasting friendships. They will have several chances to partake in social events, such as football and basketball challenges and other sports, and alumni award ceremonies.
