We are always delighted to hear from alumni! We’ve come to know many of you and like to follow your stories, whether you’re happy in the direction you’ve chosen or are in the midst of a transition. Or it may be that you were so engaged in your Amherst life when on campus that it was difficult to think actively about life post-Amherst and you are just now coming to it.

That’s not a problem—alumni have access to our services, both online and in person, and we are happy to support you wherever you are in your journey. 

If you’d like to connect—whether your question is big or small—email us careers@amherst.edu. We’re here to help and would love to hear from you.
