Join us in establishing the Johnston Alumni Network! Like you, our students are creative, innovative, and dedicated. At this Renewal, we’re gathering information from alumni who are excited to connect with current students and recent alumni.

Would you be willing to…

  • Mentor a recent alum?
  • Talk to a current student about your graduate program?
  • Offer an internship or volunteer opportunity?
  • Consult on a research or activist project?
  • Introduce a recent alum to community opportunities in your area?
  •  

If so, please fill in the Johnston Alumni Network section on the Renewal registration pages. Current faculty will work with students and recent alums to put them in contact with you.

Not coming to Renewal? You can still be part of the Johnston Alumni Network. Skipped that section when you were registering? It's not too late! Just click here to answer some questions about your life after Johnston. Thank you!
