Future Alumni Network

As students, you are our alumni-in-training, and will soon become part of the alumni network. The Montclair State alumni network is a successful group of over 145,000 fellow Red Hawks in virtually every profession, across all fifty states and worldwide.

What is FAN?

The Office of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving would like to introduce you to our student alumni council, known as the Future Alumni Network, or FAN (formerly STAT)! Be on the lookout for FAN Red Hawk news throughout the semester. FAN also sponsors and co-sponsors events and activities for students and alumni throughout the year!

What’s in it for me?

  • Network with alumni at events and activities.
  • Learn about the importance of philanthropy.
  • Gain access to mentorship opportunities.
  • Add leadership skills to your resume.
  • Participate in volunteer opportunities throughout the year.

Events include Homecoming, professional development sessions, career resource workshops and more. Opportunities to volunteer and network with alumni are also available exclusively to members of FAN, including access to the newly updated online alumni community MONTCLAIRconnect.

How can I get involved?
