How to make the most of Boston University’s alumni network

Fall 2015
Boston University has over 300,000 alumni, a large portion of whom have ended up in the DC Metro Area. While studying and interning in the Nation’s capitol, taking advantage of local alumni is a great way to expand your professional network.
A good starting point is Boston University’s own Alumni Directory Application (http://www.bu.edu/alumni/careers/alumni-directory-app/). The app helps current and past students find fellow Terriers by industry and location. If apps aren’t your thing, BU also has a web directory set up. In addition, there is a specific alumni division for those in the DC area. Check out the BUDC alumni website (http://www.dcbualum.com) for more information. The BU Washington Alumni Twitter account (https://twitter.com/BUDCAlumni) posts frequently about upcoming events, outstanding alumni and news from campus. More
