Alumni Association Events
The Walden University Alumni Association offers a variety of opportunities for our alumni to connect with each other and the University.
Each month we offer:
- Alumni Coffee Chat – An intimate networking event that allows alumni to video chat with each other and discuss different trends in their field or offer advice.
- Alumni Book Club – Each month the alumni association hosts a book club meeting. The book is announced at the beginning of each month. During the book club, a host guides the conversation about the book.
- Alumni Led Webinars – Each month we have an alum host a webinar on a topic of their choice.
