Welcome to the Alumni Network’s Professional Connections Program!

This program brings together alumni from all backgrounds in order to help expand professional networks.

Alumni will be matched with other alumni based on common interests and demographic information. The hope is that alumni will be able to connect with alumni they’ve never met before and/or reconnect with alumni they’ve lost touch with.

Come join a kind, respectful, inclusive, and safe space where we all grow and learn from each other!

How it works:

1. Fill out the application listed below

2. Get added to the announcement only WhatsApp group where you’ll receive information and links to important program surveys. Only admins will be able to post in the group and participants will only receive information related to the Professional Connections Program

3. Look out for matches to be sent to your email along with information about your connection.

4. Reach out to your fellow alumni by the date listed in the email. Connect in any way that makes sense to you, but make sure to have a conversation! (text, email, phone call, virtual coffee date, etc)

5. Get Connecting!

6. At the end of the quarter you’ll receive a survey to let us know if you were able to connect with your match. You’ll also receive your next match for the quarter.
