The Red. The Gold. The 168 Spirit.
No matter when you attended, you will always be connected to the #ONE168 community. The day you graduate, you automatically become part of the 168 Alumni Association, an international network of more than 20,000.
Our alumni stay engaged with 168 in many ways. They celebrate Homecoming with their classmates, attend networking events around the country, travel together on alumni tours, participate in career development opportunities, mentor and hire our students, and serve on boards and committees.
