Alumni Connections
No matter where life takes you, Drew graduates remain part of the community for the rest of their lives. Whether it’s through volunteering, joining an affinity group, attending regional events or Reunion (virtually for now), posting a Launch Bridges project, or giving back financially, there are many ways to stay connected with other alumni and with the life of the University.
We’re looking for a few good alums. People like you. Your experience, your insights, your time. When you mentor a Drew student, you do good in the world while boosting your own network.
Getting started on Drew Connect is simple. Our easy-to-use social networking platform is your online gateway to the powerful, worldwide Drew community. Students, alums, parents, faculty, staff and employers—they’re all here. Just sign on at drewconnect.drew.edu.
Have a short-term project for which you need help? With Launch Bridges, in minutes, you can create short-term, virtual projects for students and new Drew alums to help them acquire the critical, hands-on experiences needed to explore their purpose, gain transferable skills, build their résumé and launch their careers. More information is available here.
When we finally again can have large in-person events, we hope you will join your fellow Drewids for a weekend of fun back where it all began! From food trucks to Alumni Achievement Awards, kids’ activities to nights at the Pub, there once again will be something for everyone.
