Join us for Franklin's Global Alumni Reunion: May 21-23, 2021.
Register by May 3, 2021.
Franklin’s 7,000 alumni — entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, and above all, leaders — have helped to shape the world we know today. Many of them remain deeply involved in the life of the university. They volunteer, serve on boards, follow regional alumni clubs, and generously support Franklin’s students, faculty, and staff. As individuals, their contributions are extraordinary. As a community, their impact is substantial.

Making a Difference: Juliette Cooper's Journey in Education
One thing you’ll find with many Frankliners, both students and alumni, is just how much they care about their communities, and it’s particularly inspiring to see how so many of them put that care into action.
The Importance of the Alumni Network
One of the best parts of the Franklin experience, as any alum will tell you, is the friendships. Moving away to another country, and being surrounded by a new language and culture, makes you rely on your fellow students more than the typical college experience, which in turn develops relationships that last across continents and lifetimes. But what happens to those friendships after graduation? How do those bonds translate into an alumni network in the professional world?
