W. P. Carey Alumni LinkedIn group

Did you know your alma mater has not only a LinkedIn public page, but also a private group offering an exclusive, curated, alumni-only community experience?

Public page

Our public page gives anyone the chance to connect with the school at a surface level through:

• General posts and updates for a wide variety of audiences.
• LinkedIn-curated lists of alumni who’ve identified the W. P. Carey School of Business on their profiles (searchable by region, graduation year, employer or industry).
• A list of current employees and a job board for open positions at the school.
• Some, but certainly not all, of our upcoming public events (For the full list, visit our calendar of events).

>> Subscribing to the page is just the first step in expanding your opportunities to connect with the W. P. Carey community in more meaningful ways.

Private alumni group

The private alumni group requires you to request access to join. Once submitted, our team will confirm your alumni status — and just like that, you’re in! This exclusive group allows you to:

• Directly message fellow group members for potential partnerships, internships, recruitment or mentorships (messaging on LinkedIn is otherwise restricted to only your 1st-degree connections).
• Expand your network and connect with fellow alumni beyond your existing LinkedIn contacts.
• Share business articles, knowledge and best practices.
• Promote your alumni-owned business and grow your brand.
• Receive exclusive alumni content, career tips and invitations to events not shared with the general public.
• Request or offer help to collaboratively solve problems.
• Poll the community.
• Post job openings at your company for fellow alums.
• Get updates from the group directly in your LinkedIn homepage feed.

>> It’s highly recommended that all alumni of our school follow our public page and join this private group of verified, very engaged peers. It’s a space where you have an established connection and can tap into the collective power of a global community, free from spam or unmoderated content.

5 ways to be an engaged member of the alumni LinkedIn community

1. Proudly display the group affiliation on your profile.
2. Tag the group in your relevant personal posts for double exposure.
3. Start new conversations in the group page to unlock exclusive communications templates, like polls.
4. Message the group owner to add fellow alumni and we’ll send them an invite so that they can reap the benefits!
5. Treat this as your community, because it is! Share good news and achievements, no matter how great or small, as well as the failures and lessons you had along the way (and encourage others to share their stories, so we can all learn together). If there’s something specific you’re looking for that the group can’t provide, contact us, and we’ll get you to the right resources here at W. P. Carey!

The resources and advantages of this community are limitless
