Social connections
More than 125 alumni clubs exist in communities throughout the world. And nearly 50 alumni societies have been organized among graduates from specific colleges, schools, programs, or with other common interests. These organizations plan hundreds of events throughout the year, inspiring alumni to gather for community service, continuing education, networking, and fun. They are an important opportunity for individuals to take on leadership roles for the Alumni Association at a local level. And many current and prospective students benefit from scholarships funded by clubs and societies.
