Welcome Alumni
Welcome to the CFANS Alumni Society
CFANS Class of 2021,
As chair of the CFANS Alumni Society Board, I want to officially congratulate each of you on your new status as a CFANS alumnus/alumna! As your role and relationship with the University of Minnesota changes, I encourage you to
stay connected to the College after graduation The CFANS alumni webpage— cfans.umn.edu/alumni—is filled with resources to help you maintain your connection to our college community by getting involved in one or more of
the CFANS Alumni Society Board’s many programs
For example, if you are passionate about helping CFANS students navigate their career choices and build stronger connections to employers in their field—you can volunteer with the Alumni Board’s Mentor Program Or, if you love sharing the groundbreaking research being done in St Paul every day by CFANS students and faculty, you can sign up to help with our annual Classes Without Quizzes series At the very least we encourage you to sign up for the email list to stay informed about networking opportunities in the Twin Cities and beyond
The CFANS Alumni Society Board is also dedicated to serving as a continued professional resource for you beyond graduation We help to manage and promote U of M networking tools like the Maroon and Gold Network and the CFANS LinkedIn group—so join one or both today to continue connecting with fellow CFANS and U of M grads as you navigate your career
Again, welcome to this new phase of your life The CFANS Alumni Society Board is excited to see what you accomplish next, and we encourage you to stay involved with CFANS and the U beyond this momentous occasion!
Congratulations and best wishes,
Rylee Ahnen
