Stay Connected

In partnership between the Office of Alumni Relations and the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Initiatives, alumni groups were established in 2023 as a way to connect and engage Juilliard alumni with the school, other alumni, and students around common interests, identity, location, and experiences. Alumni groups may be formed to expand opportunities for networking, resource-sharing, professional development, and connecting with students—all while deepening their relationship with Juilliard in a supportive and inclusive environment. Collaborative partners include the Offices of the President and General Counsel; the development, public affairs, finance, student development, and liberal arts departments; and faculty and alumni.

To learn more about alumni groups at Juilliard—including how to submit a proposal to create your own alumni group and to see current alumni groups at Juilliard—please visit the main Alumni Groups page. 

With more than 1,700 members, Juilliard Connect is an online community for alumni to find, reach out to, and network with each other! The platform brings our community together and enables you to:

• Reconnect—Find and reminisce with classmates through the newsfeed and directory, see what they have been up to, and stay in touch
• Give back—Introduce, employ, and be a resource to graduating students and fellow alumni
• Expand—Leverage your professional network to get introduced to people you want to know and filter by industry, interests, and location
• Get ahead—Advance your career through inside connections working in top companies/organizations and get access to exclusive opportunities through our job board
• Forge New Connections—Connect with alumni in your area through our newly established regional groups, which are hosted through Juilliard Connect and moderated by local alumni. We have groups established for alumni based in the Carolinas and the United Kingdom, and more will be coming soon! Interested in leading a group in your area? Email us at [email protected] and we would be happy to help you get started!

For a quick visual, you can view a one-minute video on how to connect with users on the platform. Sign-up is easy, completely free, and can be done in less than two minutes by registering with your LinkedIn or Facebook account.
