Alumni Networking & Engagement Opportunities
The following alumni engagement and networking resources are provided through Northwestern University’s Alumni Relations and Development (ARD) department.
Our Northwestern
Our Northwestern is the University’s official online networking platform and is available to all Northwestern alumni, as well as undergraduate and graduate students. Alumni can use it to reconnect with peers, share professional insights, and engage with current students exploring careers and academic paths.
Northwestern Alumni Association (NAA)
The Northwestern Alumni Association (NAA) offers a variety of programs and career resources for alumni. While some programs focus on undergraduates, career resources are available to all students and alumni, providing opportunities for professional development, networking, and engagement across industries.
Waldron Student–Alumni Connections
The Waldron Student–Alumni Connections Program supports structured engagement between alumni and students. While marketing often targets undergraduate students, alumni participation is central, and graduate students are also welcome to attend events and use Waldron resources.
Ask a Wildcat
Ask a Wildcat connects students with alumni through a structured Q&A platform. Alumni respond to questions about career paths, professional experiences, and leadership. Graduate students and undergraduates may use the platform, and alumni engagement allows them to share expertise without ongoing commitments.
