Alumni Benefits

The benefits of your Yale affiliation last a lifetime. All Yale alumni, post-doctoral fellows, and international affiliates automatically gain access to:

• Alumni events on and off campus
• The global network of regional Yale clubs as well as interest groups, Graduate & professional school associations, and other organizations. Yale College alumni also benefit from class organizations and events, such as 5-year reunions.
• Educational and travel opportunities
• Communications such as YaleNews and the Yale Alumni Magazine

In addition to these programs, we work with vendors and campus partners to create special access and offers for you. Please take advantage of these perks of being part of the Yale alumni family!

We encourage alumni to visit campus any time throughout the year. Check out Visit Campus for campus event calendars, access information, and recommendations on eating and staying in New Haven.

Take advantage of a wealth of intellectual opportunities for alumni, including in-person programs on campus and around the globe, educational travel experiences, and online services like Coursera, iTunesU, and academic journal services like JSTOR.

Also, the Yale University Library offers access for all Yale alumni and spouses. Access levels range from free to $200 per year and are for in-person access/borrowing only. For more information on the levels and privileges associated with each, please visit the Alumni Borrowing Guide.

Check out Yale's resources for professional development, such as one-on-one career support from on-campus career offices, the online Yale Career Network, and alumni-to-alumni career programs. You can also share your own expertise and mentor a current student. More information is available in the Networking & Careers section of this site.
