- That's one of the most important reasons I joined.
- It's actually a family away from home.
- It's been a good and fun thing
for me to be involved in,
and I've gotten to know quite a few people.
- Did I make any new friends?
I definitely did.
- And I'm so fortunate to have met so many amazing alumni.
It's good for us to come together as a group, share a laugh
and share stories from when we were back in London.
- I've made good friends,
and I have made good professional connections
with a couple of people.
- Personally, I've been for an interview
with someone in the Imperial network.
And the only way I found out about this opportunity was
through the Imperial alumni network itself.
- I'm very happy to have joined
and it's very laid back and informal,
and everyone's really, really nice.
- Graduates from Imperial College are very high achiever
as an individual.
So I can see many of them
actually holding great appointments.
- The contacts to the other Imperial graduates,
is definitely worth everything.
- And it's amazing how we can get those connections working,
and I think it's a real platform,
the alumni network for that.

- It is a power of connections, that we have in a group,
where so many people can share information,
and can provide the help that people need.
This is what we can offer for all graduates.
- We do host quite a few alumni events every year.
A lot of these are social events.
So somebody coming in,
it's a great way to sort of ease into the city.
- To have the opportunity to engage some of your,
peers who attended the same university as you.
It's something to be able to connect about,
relate to...
It provides at least a starting point to try
to meet new people as well.
It's a really nice thing to have.
- We can provide a social environment
where they can get to meet fellow alums.
We can offer advice on where to look
for housing, on tactical and practical things.
- I have been part of many groups in New York,
in Los Angeles and in San Diego.
And I think that the first thing
that we can offer in all of those settings,
is a sense of belonging.
- You can start networking with some people who've been
in the area for a long time,
and are well connected,
and might be able to offer you insights.
And so it's a way to get started in a new area,
especially if you don't really know very many people
or nobody at all.
- Well, we have created several activity groups,
and all new graduates are free to join all of them.
- I've had friends who have found jobs,
working with seniors in Imperial.
Friends who have done business matching
with other Imperial friends.
So I think that's really cool,
and it's a cool way to build new friendships
beyond the Imperial network.
- If you are looking for a job
or an internship opportunity.
If you're looking for someone to fund your projects
or a venture,
if you are just looking
for someone who can go hiking with you.
We can reach this alumni for you.
via just a phone call.
