Stay connected to SCU, no matter where you are!

The purpose of a community is to provide a vehicle for bringing together Santa Clara Alumni in order to foster a spirit of loyalty and warm relationships amongst themselves and to initiate and encourage activities that generate goodwill and support for Santa Clara University’s Jesuit mission.

To participate, update your contact information on record. Our primary form of communication is email, so please make sure that your contact information is current, reflecting the region that you live in, and that your preferred email address is noted in our Online Alumni Directory.

Not Finding a Community? Event in a Box – Organize a Santa Clara event in your area!

Each year the Santa Clara Alumni Association receives numerous requests from alumni across the country for events in their area.  We greatly appreciate the enthusiasm of our alumni and always want to encourage those connected to Santa Clara to get together. If you do not find a community in your area, nor the minimum number of alumni required to start a community (200) look below for instructions to make your own group. The Event in a Box program allows alumni to host their own alumni event!
