Stay connected

Alumni network

The NSBE Alumni Network keeps our graduates connected to the chapter through mentorship, networking events, and giving back to the community. Alumni offfer career advice and guidance to current members, connect with each other and students at chapter events, and support the next generation through donations, speaking, or volunteering. Stay involved by joining our LinkedIn group, signing up for mentorship, attending Alumni networking events, or subscribing to our mailing list.

Mentorship

Alumni offer career guidance, resume feedback, and industry insights as students prepare for internshipds, co-ops, and full-time positions.

Networking events

Homecoming meetups and the annual alumni mixer give alumni and current members a chance to reconnect, build relationships, and grow the NSBE network across generations.

Giving back

Alumni give back by speaking at GBMs, sponsoring chapter events, or donating directly to support the NSBE chapter. Learn more on our donations page.
