We’re an open network and love to hear from alumni who want to organize meet-ups in their city. Perhaps you know a good venue for an alumni mixer or a great restaurant for that upcoming iftar.

Alumni networks become stronger when more alumni are involved.

We especially need connections from those who graduated more than 10 years ago!
