Welcome Alumni & Friends

Master's Student Graduating

The SIS alumni network is nearly 3,000 strong and grows each year in size, diversity and expertise. We want you to continue to be part of the SIS family no matter where you are, or when you graduated. Your continued involvement in our community is one of the ways we maintain our ranking as one of the top library and information science programs in the country, which we strive to improve each day so that your SIS degree continues to grow in value. Help us build a strong network so we can take care of each other, and a degree that will shine as bright today as it did on the day your received it!
