Bloustein School Alumni Association Regional and Affinity Alumni Groups are a new way for Bloustein alumni to stay connected and network with alumni who live and work in particular regions and cities around the world, or who are interested in creating a network of alumni working on common issues or in similar industries.  Current regional alumni groups include New York CityPhiladelphia, and Washington, DC. A New York Real Estate/Housing/Development affinity alumni group has also been formed. All group members must be Bloustein School alumni. Each group must have at least two co-leaders for purposes of communication and group organization and will work closely with Bloustein School Alumni Relations & Development staff to organize and host a minimum of two events per year. Join one of our alumni groups to connect with other Bloustein School alumni, attend local networking receptions, happy hours, and more or contact Hillary Bardwell for more information about starting an alumni group in your area.
