Affinity Groups

Promote Your Success

As more and more alumni discover the power of the Rensselaer network, membership in professionally based alumni groups is on the rise. Already, thousands of alumni have discovered the benefits of being connected with other alumni in their chosen fields.

Affinities help build professional contacts, facilitate job growth or change, find potential employees for your business, and more. The connections you make can provide a safety net in today’s changing job environment, and foster cooperation in launching tomorrow’s business success. In addition, Rensselaer arranges opportunities for you to learn about what is state-of-the-art from renowned alumni, faculty, staff, and other leaders in your field.

Groups meet regionally, on campus, and virtually, so you can benefit from involvement in the way that best suits you. Gain from the collective knowledge of alumni in your profession and continue the Rensselaer tradition of excellence by allowing those new to your field to learn from you. Contact Kathy Kinsey in the Office of Alumni Relations at kinsek@rpi.edu or (518) 276-2832 to get involved.
