Your graduation from BU will open many doors for you, including access to the Boston University Alumni Association (BUAA). The Alumni Association is your lifelong resource for keeping in touch with BU friends, networking, and accessing career tools. While miles may soon separate you from BU and your classmates, the BUAA is a great way to stay connected.

Sign in to the Alumni Online Community to start using your benefits. It’s easy and free. Just log in with your full email address and Kerberos password. Below are some of the many tools and services available to you as a BU alum:

GET INVITED

Update your profile with your post-BU info. The BU Alumni Association offers fun and informative events to alumni—three every night somewhere in the world, on average. It’s like having mini reunions all year long. The home and business addresses you provide tell us which events to invite you to. Go to www.bu.edu/alumni/update to update your preferred addresses and email.

CAREER RESOURCES

The Alumni Association offers several useful tools as you advance in your career. The BUAA LinkedIn group (linkd.in /BUalumni) will connect you with alumni who can share professional development and career advice. CareerBeam^® (which you can access via bu.edu/alumni) provides powerful skills assessments and research tools to help you find the job that’s right for you.

SOCIAL MEDIA

follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to stay up-to-date on alumni events, BU sports and news, and campus happenings. And again, the BU Alumni Association LinkedIn group is a great resource for professional networking.

BU EMAIL FOR LIFE

While jobs and email accounts may change, your BU email address is forever. There’s no need to go through the annoying process of sending mass emails to friends and family with new contact info. You can continue to use your BU email or have it forwarded to a private email address. Learn more at bu.edu/tech/email.

ALUMNI CARD

Your BU ID was your key during college. Now your Alumni Card will unlock dozens of discounts and free services, including access to all BU libraries and markdowns on purchases at Barnes & Noble @ BU, Zipcar accounts, Agganis Arena events, FitRec membership, insurance plans, Boston hotels, and more. The BU Alumni Association exists to keep you connected to your classmates and to BU. After all, you’re not just a Terrier for your college years. You’re a Terrier for life.
