Alumni Affinity Groups

We understand the power of connecting with Like-minded individuals.

Connections that last a life time

At Western, we believe in the power of connecting with like minds to help create opportunities and spark new possibilities. Alumni Affinity Groups bring together alumni of shared interests, geographic locations or professional backgrounds in support of the university and its wider community.

By establishing a new affinity group or joining an existing one, you are connecting with individuals that will enhance your social networks and assist with your professional development.
