It’s designed to spark inspiration, highlight best practices, and help you adapt and customize successful initiatives to meet the unique needs of your alumni community—so you don’t have to start from scratch. ACSN members are strengthened by your contributions. Please submit programs, resources, and other relevant alumni career assets via this form.

ACSN Member Vendor Spreadsheet: This document was a compilation of vendors that ACSN members were using, gathered during a Spring 2022 webinar. This is not an exhaustive list of vendors that members use but is a good starting point if you're considering partnering with new members. You can use this sheet to identify what ACSN schools might be using a vendor, whether they're an official ACSN partner, and how you can get in touch with them. Information on this sheet will be updated periodically. 

Web Resources: Access links to free websites that are favorites of ACSN members, including resources for alumni of specific career stages, diverse populations, online assessments, and more.
