How It Works

Register
Complete the online registration process. Once entered, all your personal contact information will remain private.

Select Your Areas of Interest
A menu of options allows you to identify the topics on which you would like to offer advice. You can also add information about your industry expertise and any demographic or interest-based groups to which you belong in order to aid in making strong personal connections.

Share Your Expertise
Once your profile is complete, students and other alumni will be able to view it and reach out to ask a question or request a conversation. If you receive a request, you can accept it or, if you don't have time or think it's the wrong fit, you can decline it.

Who Can Join
All UMass Amherst alumni are eligible and encouraged to join Connect UMass. By sharing your expertise and knowledge with current students, recent grads and fellow alumni, you’re strengthening the global network of UMass Amherst alumni.
