From first jobs to career pivots and leadership roles, staying connected to fellow Wildcats can open doors and create lasting professional relationships. Explore the many ways to engage, learn, and grow with the Northwestern alumni community.
Our Northwestern is a private, secure information hub for the Northwestern alumni, faculty, and staff, as well as current students and their parents. Alumni can also utilize it to search for and reach out to fellow alums.
Students and alumni can join the official Northwestern Alumni LinkedIn group, a community that connects nearly 50,000 members.
Connect with alumni by geographic region, personal and professional interests, and school or college affiliation. These groups offer a wide variety of networking, professional development, and social events to help members stay engaged and involved.
Whether you’re eager to mentor, looking for guidance, or hoping to do both, explore our alumni mentorship programs. These opportunities cultivate genuine, one-on-one connections as alumni and student mentees navigate career paths, seek new possibilities, or consider graduate school.
