Once you register, you can build your personal profile, add photos, and submit class notes for your friends to read. Search out other graduates to reconnect with, and learn their latest news. Through the new Alumni Online Community you can also upload your resume and participate in our new mentoring program.


Proud members of the Alumni Association understand that the real value in any network is the new contacts—be they social or professional—that are possible. Only members have access to additional online tools to make valuable new connections. Members have expanded search capabilities in the directory and can find alumni living in targeted areas, working in specific professions, or with like interests. Members can also search job opportunities in the career center, or take advantage of professional career counseling.


“The great thing about tools like this is that you can network with professionals in your field. Therefore, your connections within your profession and industry will grow, allowing you to connect with potential employers and like-minded people,” says Alumni Association member Sara Coady Howe ’02, senior recruiter for EMC Corporation in Boston.


If you’d truly like to get the most out of your UMass Amherst degree and the tools available on the Alumni Online Community, then become an Alumni Association member today. For as little as $40 annually, you can take advantage of these exclusive members-only benefits.
Take ownership of your Alumni Online Community and register today. You worked hard for your degree and you’ve accomplished great things since graduation, so share them with people who’ve had the same experience—your fellow alumni!

You were. You are. UMASS.
