Alumni Community
Reconnecting and engaging with fellow alumni and students
The Walton College alumni community serves as a vital and dynamic network for both current students and fellow graduates. This international group of distinguished business leaders, united by their shared experiences as Walton graduates, provides a wealth of support through various engagements such as advisory boards, speaking events, and student competition judging.
Their contributions offer valuable career insights and open doors to collaboration and professional opportunities.

Alumni in the Classroom
We welcome and encourage alumni to participate in our classrooms. There are various ways that alumni can remain connected to the college and give back to the next generation of business leaders, including serving as lecturers, guest speakers, competition judges, mentors, resume reviewers, and more.
Advisory Boards
Advisory boards serve as a powerful conduit for alumni to remain involved with the college, students, and the legacy of Walton College. In addition to helping foster continuous growth for the college, advisory boards present alumni with a rewarding platform to stay dynamically connected to their alma mater. → View Dean's Advisory Boards. → View Academic Advisory Boards.

Monetary Support
Walton College alumni can experience the joy of transforming a student's life through the power of education. We welcome donations of all sizes and will apply funds to the area of greatest need or allow donors to tailor gifts to the area, department, or cause that means the most to them. In addition to scholarships, we collaborate with donors to determine the best way to utilize donations for other student assistance such as fellowships, study abroad programs, and classroom resources.

Hiring Students
Alumni often return to recruit our current students for internships and professional positions, recognizing the quality and potential they possess. Through resources like our career fair and Career Connections office, we aim to connect the business leaders of today with the rising stars of tomorrow. Explore resources for hiring students.
