Students who fit this definition will have access to certain alumni-only features, such as alumni e-mail, the online alumni directory, and career services. Register for an account by visiting the Alumni Association website.
  • Sophomore and Alumni Lunch: Join alumni and fellow sophomores during Winter quarter for an afternoon of lunch, laughter and advice on everything from exploring your major to getting the most out of life on the Farm. Now’s the time to ask questions and grab some guidance from folks who have been exactly where you are now.
  • Junior Dinner off the Farm: Head off the Farm this Fall or Winter quarter with five to ten other juniors who share your interests for a casual, home-cooked meal whipped up by local alumni hosts. You’ll have the opportunity to select an alum host by major, field of interest or career. Each family-style gathering is located near campus and is free for students; transportation is free and arranged as needed.
