Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow
You are a student today, an alum tomorrow, and a Yalie forever! One of the great things about Yale is that, while you may embark on future careers, further studies, and all the other journeys of a long, interesting life, Yale never leaves you. You are – and always will be – a Yalie. And as such, you have a place with the Yale Alumni Association.
Stay Connected
Are you graduating this year? If so, starting in January, you will be able to access the online alumni community. Students set to graduate in the current academic year have access to exclusive alumni services, such as the all-inclusive online alumni directory and YaleMail, the Yale-branded alumni email service.
And be sure to keep in touch after graduation as well. Update your contact information so you never miss out on the latest events and other news. And sign up for YaleMail! We invite you to create a branded alumni email account. (Your student account will be closed after one year; Yale ITS provides instructions on transferring your email archive to YaleMail or another account.)
