As a Kaplan University graduate, you are on your way to a future bright with possibility. But for Kaplan University’s 19,000 plus graduates, moving on does not mean losing touch with our dynamic academic community.
The Kaplan University Alumni Association website, Kaplan Connections, was launched at the 2009 graduation ceremony in Chicago, IL. The website is a terrific resource that allows graduates to remain connected to both the University and to peer networks. The association will eventually be led by elected officers, comprised of both alumni and faculty.
“Students work hard at building their personal and professional networks during their program, and it’s refreshing to see how well Kaplan University understands the value of continuing and fostering those connections,” said Mary Lynn Gautreaux, Alumni Relations Manager. “Given the right platform, these friendships can continue to grow for a lifetime.”
The alumni website is the key platform for keeping graduates connected. Kaplan Connections offers the following:
In addition, alumni will find links to helpful articles on topics including money and finance, life and leisure, health and wellness, and general motivational pieces.
Another important part of the new alumni network is the continued development and growth of the Mentoring Program which pairs highly motivated students with engaged alumni in similar career fields for the purpose of professional development. The program provides a unique opportunity for students to interact with alumnus to receive mentoring, encouragement, guidance and support. For mentors, the rewards come from being able to share their knowledge and experience with their mentees and to know they have made a difference in their lives.
As an alumnus, you are part of a vast network of professionals, experts, and talents in a number of fields—all sharing one important thing in common: Kaplan University. To engage with this network of contributors and colleagues, stay current with the latest Kaplan University news, and participate in open conversations about contemporary global topics, simply join Kaplan Connections—your link to life after Kaplan University.
