Was your degree truly worth it?

How can you build your network to maximise the value of your time at university?

Does the alumni strategy in your organisation need an inspired boost?

This second edition of The Alumni Way reimagines your alumni status as a lifelong gateway to opportunity. Drawing on the latest research in alumni networking, career wayfinding, AI, equity, diversity and inclusion and sustainability, author Maria L. Gallo guides you through the four key traits of the Alumni Way: reflection, curiosity, passion and generosity.

Fully revised, the book comes with updated case studies and practical activities taken from around the world. Plus, reflective questions, checklists and career-focused exercises to apply the Alumni Way of thinking to your own alumni status and other identities in your life: as parents, as career advisors, as professionals.

Whether you are a new graduate, a seasoned alum or a professional supporting students and alumni on their journey, The Alumni Way is the ultimate guide to building long-lasting value from your university investment.
