Since joining an alumni club or network is one of your best ways to stay connected to Purdue, we also ask that you complete a survey here or under Clubs and Networks below. Doing this will help us connect you with organizations that interest you.

Stay Engaged

There are many ways you can stay connected and get involved as a new graduate!

Clubs and Networks

Did you fill out the survey above to connect with a club or network? If not, check out the clubs (U.S. or international) near where you’ll live after graduation and all the networks that might fit your interests. After researching all the opportunities available, you can complete the survey and we will help connect you with the organizations that interest you. You will then be contacted directly by members of those groups.
