Resources

In an effort to provide New School graduates with excellence in services and programming, we are working closely with the Office of Career Development and Experience to offer resources and events that launch and boost your career through Handshake. We encourage alumni to take advantage of these programs, and hope you'll be inspired to share your experience and success by mentoring New School students and recent graduates. 

The New School Network
Alumni are invited to join The New School Network, a digital space connecting students and alumni from around the world into one TNS community. In the network, students and recent graduates can identify and contact alumni by field and interest and ask for mentorship and career guidance. Members can connect with alumni by program, year, or location. You'll also find listings for social and career networking events, industry specialists, over 100 job listings, and news. Build your community and celebrate New School pride!

Meet a Mentor
Alumni are invited to volunteer for the Meet a Mentor series. Now more than ever, it's important for students and graduates to hear from seasoned alumni, like you, who can speak to real-world experience and provide career advice. During Meet a Mentor sessions, alumni and mentees can discuss career advice, job hunting, networking, interviewing, resume or portfolio review, and networking with fellow alumni and New School colleagues. Seeking a mentor? Browse available volunteers to book your session!

New School LinkedIn Groups
Connect and network with fellow alumni by joining Alumni LinkedIn Groups for New School alumni and Parsons alumni.

New School alumni are welcome to visit campus to use the New School Libraries, at 55 West 13th Street, 6 East 16th Street, and the University Center and to attend in-person public programs. All other areas of campus are limited to students, faculty, and staff. To access the New School Libraries as an alum, please present your photo ID to the security guard at 63 Fifth Avenue.

As of May 2014, graduating students may retain the New School email address they used as students. Email addresses will remain in the format of [email protected]. To retain the address, alumni must log in to their email account at least once every six months.

Alumni who graduated before spring 2014 can request an alumni account online.
