Discover a Common Interest

Alumni Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) are domestic and international communities of alumni with a common affinity based on experience, identity and background, affiliation, profession, or interests. SIGs are a tangible way for you to engage in the life of the university and other alumni. 

SIGs are not geographically bound. No matter where you live, in the United States or beyond, we encourage you to get involved with a group that matches your interests.
