About Us

Working closely with hundreds of dedicated volunteers, Brown’s Office of Alumni Relations helps Brunonians stay connected with the University and with each other. By creating and managing an ever-evolving assortment of activities and services—such as hundreds of regional and virtual Brown Club events, class-led meet-ups, Reunion Weekend, Campus Dance, travel and learning opportunities, career mentoring, and more—we foster a vibrant Brown community and support alumni throughout their lives.

Our Team

It is our pleasure to help Brown alumni “discharge the offices of life with usefulness and reputation” as embodied in the University’s mission. Reach out to us to learn more about ways to get involved, how to connect with activities or resources available to you, or opportunities to volunteer.

For inquiries, questions, or general information, please contact alumni@brown.edu and a member of our team will respond directly to you.
