As the Bonner Foundation continues to refine and evolve our strategies for leveraging and engaging the Bonner Alumni Network, we share three important updates.
We ask Bonner alumni to complete the Bonner Alumni Engagement Interest Form to share what they are currently up to and their interest in participating in new and ongoing national and campus Bonner initiatives. This includes expressing interest for participation on a Bonner Alumni Advisory Board, serving as a mentor to Bonner students for their career development and networking opportunities, or making introductions to expand the Bonner Foundation’s partnerships with graduate schools to help alleviate the financial barriers for Bonner alumni pursuing graduate education. The form takes less than 10 minutes to complete and we ask it to be completed by April 30, 2025. For questions regarding the Bonner Alumni Engagement Interest Form: contact Liz Brandt, Director of Community Engagement, at liz@bonner.org.
As part of our efforts to streamline communication and networking, Bonner Connect will be discontinued on July 31, 2025. To ensure that our alumni and current students remain connected, we encourage invite alumni to join our official LinkedIn Group: Bonner Alumni Network. This will allow alumni to continue networking, accessing career opportunities, and staying engaged with our community. For questions regarding the BonnerConnect Transition to LinkedIn: contact Jeniffer Gonzalez Reyes, Program Manager, at jengr@bonner.org.
In the coming months, the Bonner Foundation will launch a formal 2025 Bonner Alumni Survey to collect data on what Bonner alumni are currently doing and the extent to which their experiences as a college student influence their experiences as an adult, particularly in terms of community and civic involvement. For questions regarding the 2025 Bonner Alumni Survey: contact Rachayita Shah, Director of Community-Engaged Learning, at rshah@bonner.org
Thank you as we continue to support and leverage our thriving and talented Bonner Alumni Network.
