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 events, engaging in online learning opportunities, or giving back financially, there are many ways to stay connected with other alumni and with the life of the University.

The Alumni Associations take a leadership role in developing, planning, promoting and delivering quality programs and services designed to keep you connected to the Drew community.

Alumni Benefits and Services
From professional development and personal enrichment and access to online fitness classes, our VIRTUAL doors are always open to you.
Affinity Networks
Affinity networks offer opportunities for alumni to connect with one another, students and the University around topics and issues of shared interest. Affinity programming is possible through the active involvement of alumni volunteers, and the Office of Alumni and Parent Communities is eager to help alumni develop new networks.
ATHLETICS
Just because you’ve graduated doesn’t mean
you’re off the team! Many Ranger sports teams are dedicated to keeping their alumni connected and engaged with each other and what’s happening on campus through events, social media outreach, alumni games and more.
BUSINESS AND FINANCE NETWORK
Professor Marc Tomljanovich and a few dedicated alumni formed a Business and Finance Affinity Network, with a launch event in September 2017. The purpose is to offer networking opportunities and other programming throughout the year to supplement the annual Wall Street Semester reception. For more information, feel free to reach out to the Office of Alumni and Parent Communities or to any of the founding alumni volunteers (Sabrina Fruci C’15, Rebecca Kuhar C’96, or Joe Noto C’95) on Drew Connect.
LAW NETWORK
Are you a lawyer or working in the legal 
field? Maybe you’re in law school or thinking about going. The College Alumni Association invites you to join the Drew Law Network (“DLN”).
This newly formed Affinity Group aims to connect legal professionals from all class years and locations. You can become a DLN member today by signing up through Drew Connect. Also, be on the lookout for details about upcoming meetings, how to get involved in DLN, and information on regional or on-campus events for networking and CLE programs.
For more information about the Drew Law Network, contact the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations or reach out to any member of the leadership committee (Jonathan Amira C’10, Emily Perks Quinlan C’07, Michael DeLoreto C’06, Don Enright C’93, Laura Hook C’84, Jennifer McGroarty C’06, Allison Siegel C’08, and Chris Walsh C’80) on Drew Connect.
LGBTQ+ ALUMNI
Drew strives to provide a welcoming
community for its lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex and ally alumni. The LGBTQ+ Alumni Network works to create and facilitate opportunities for new and on-going friendships and professional connections through participation in social, professional, networking and community service events. Opportunities to provide mentorship to current Drew students are also available.
