Alumni share in a tradition of connection with the university and each other, and they give back to keep the Yale experience vibrant for the generations who come after them.
Today, more than 170,000 Yale alumni live and work in every corner of the globe. Diverse in their interests, they are known as builders and leaders in every community. Their lifelong connection to Yale unites them.
As a member of the alumni community, you can choose from a variety of ways to connect, grow, and learn with Yale. You’ll find opportunities for travel, education, networking, mentoring, and social connection. Your fellow alumni will inspire new ideas, friendships, professional fulfillment, and acts of service. We encourage you to reach out, participate in Yale events near you, and return to campus often.
Many alumni feel that their time at Yale set them on an extraordinary life trajectory. Your giving can help ensure that the benefits of a Yale education remain accessible to current and future generations of students. You can direct your philanthropy to financial aid or specific schools, departments, and programs that match your interests. Please consider supporting Yale with an annual gift to the Alumni Fund. To mark a reunion year, many alumni also make a stretch commitment above and beyond their ongoing annual support.
When alumni show up for each other and for future students, we’re investing in the next generation of leaders. That’s worth every effort.
