Choose how to be involved in the alumni network
Want to get involved and share your experience with the school's alumni and current students? Every member of the community can play a part in making the SKEMA Alumni network richer and even more innovative and creative.
Wherever you’re at in your career, there are several ways you can get involved:
- Attend our events
Attend the events organised by the Alumni department and its network of ambassador-volunteers, such as conferences and round tables, after-work meetups and class reunions, but also professional development workshops and webinars. They’re a great opportunity to meet other alumni, expand your network and develop your career.
- Come and speak
A speaker is an alum who shares their experience, expertise and career path at an alumni event (conference, round table, workshop, webinar) or a student event (career fairs, open days, prepadays, etc.). This is an opportunity to share and pass on your knowledge.
- Become a career coach
You’re a certified coach with an idea for a professional development workshop you’d like to run?
- Become a mentor
What is mentoring?
Mentoring is a supportive relationship between a mentor and a mentee, where guidance, advice and experience is shared. In short, an alum helps and coaches a recent graduate (or final-year student).
Aim:
Facilitate the success and workforce integration of the mentee, by giving a little of your time and sharing your experience and network.
Where and when?
2 x 6-month sessions per year:
- September to February
- March to August
The session schedule is agreed between the mentor and the mentee.
Log in to your private account and register for the mentoring campaign.
- Become an ambassador for a local chapter
What does this involve?
Become the go-to person for alumni in your region or city.
Aim:
Help maintain connections between alumni living in the same region, welcome newcomers, organise events, parties, dinners, cultural outings... several times a year on a voluntary basis, with the support of the Alumni team.
Where and when?
Schedule to be organised with the Alumni team
- Become an industry-specific club ambassador
What does this involve?
It's about becoming an alumni go-to person for a particular industry or profession. A number of clubs have been set up and some are still waiting for an ambassador — or you can create a new one!
Aim:
Engage the club members and organise virtual or in-person events around the club’s theme.
When and where?
At least twice a year

- Organise a class reunion
Celebrate your class's 10th, 20th, 30th or 40th anniversary!
Share an unforgettable moment with your class and reminisce about your best student years!
