How Active Is UMN’s Alum Association? Here Are The Benefits for Students and Graduates

When choosing a university, many prospective students focus on the curriculum, facilities, or accreditation. However, one thing is often overlooked: the alum network. In fact, the connection with the campus does not end at graduation. After graduating, the alum network can become one of the most valuable assets for building a career, expanding professional relationships, and continuing to learn about industry developments. 

That is why many prospective students ask, “How active is the alum association at UMN?” The answer is that UMN has an active alum community through the alum Family of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (Keluarga alumni/KAMI UMN), which serves as a forum for graduates to stay connected with both their alma mater and fellow alums.

Why is an alum network important?

Having an active alum network is not just about reunions or catching up. In the professional world, networking often opens up various opportunities, ranging from sharing experiences and expanding cross-industry connections to gaining information about career opportunities and collaborations. 

Through the alum community, graduates can also support one another, exchange insights, and learn from the experiences of peers who have already built careers in various fields. This is why the existence of an alum association is one of the added values worth considering when choosing a university.

What is KAMI UMN?

The alum Family of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (KAMI UMN) is the official forum that connects UMN alums from various study programs and graduating classes. Through this community, alum maintain their relationship with the campus through various activities that encourage professional development and networking among graduates. KAMI UMN also serves as a space for alums to share experiences, build collaborations, and contribute back to students and the alma mater.

What are the benefits of being part of KAMI UMN?

As part of the UMN ecosystem, alum have the opportunity to continue growing after graduation. Some of the benefits that can be gained include:

– Expanding professional networks with fellow alum from various industries.

– Participating in networking events, seminars, and sharing sessions with alum.

– Gaining information about industry developments and career opportunities.

– Sharing experiences with students through various inspirational programs.

– Staying connected with the UMN community as part of a lifelong learning process.

With an active alum community, the relationship between graduates and the campus does not end at graduation but continues as part of their professional journey.

UMN’s support does not stop after graduation

UMN’s commitment to student development does not only take place during the study period. Before graduating, students are supported through various learning experiences, projects, student activities, internship programs, and the Career Development Center (CDC) services that help connect students with the industrial world. 

After officially becoming alums, this support continues through KAMI UMN, so that graduates still have access to a professional community that can support their career development and networking. This approach reflects that UMN does not only prepare students to graduate but also builds a long-term relationship ecosystem that continues to grow alongside the career journey of its alum.

Conclusion

The alum association is not just an organization after graduation but is part of an ecosystem that supports one’s career journey. Through KAMI UMN, graduates stay connected with their alma mater, build professional networks, participate in various self-development activities, and share experiences with fellow alums and students. 

With support from the Career Development Center (CDC) during their studies, UMN strives to accompany students from their time on campus until they become part of an active alum community.
