A degree only takes a couple of years to finish, but being an Alumni is for life.
Alumni communities are a huge benefit to graduates (especially recent ones), but many students neglect to take advantage of the networking and career development opportunities that they provide.
Alumni departments will:
- Support the professional development of graduates
- Celebrate and promote their achievements
- Provide networking opportunities
- Advertise job opportunities
- Offer discounts and sometimes, health services
- Give invitations to events
- Keep graduates updated on recent news from their institution
