NEC Alumni Association
Alumni are one of our most valued resources and you play a very important role in the life of NEC. As an NEC alumna/us, you are part of a community that includes more than 12,000 people in various careers and life-stages. With the many competing demands on your time, we know that is not always possible to get back to NEC for concerts, workshops or special events - so we hope that you will utilize this website as a means of staying connected with NEC and becoming involved virtually with the Alumni Association.
The Alumni Association is here to serve you by offering a variety of programs and services for NEC alumni around the globe. Through the online Alumni Directory, you can keep in touch with NEC friends and update your contact information online. With Career Services’ new program Bridge, you can access information on over 2000 music opportunities from grant and scholarship listings to job opportunities. You can also network with other alumni in various professions or find a Career Network Volunteer who can offer advice as you travel along your career path. You may also send us a link your website and we will proudly display it on our Alumni Websites page. The Alumni Events and Regional Chapters pages provide opportunities to connect with other alumni both on campus and in your own region. Notes magazine, containing NEC news and stories as well as alumni class notes, is mailed to alumni free of charge. The NEC Alumni ID Card entitles you to benefits and privileges such as discounts on musical instrument insurance, car rentals and NEC library privileges. In addition, the Alumni Relations staff is always available to answer your questions and keep you connected.
In return, we ask that you assist the Alumni Office in maintaining accurate records by informing us of your address changes and share with us your current professional affiliations and employment. We love to publish information on the outstanding work of our alumni in NOTES, regardless of your chosen profession. Listing NEC in your bio reflects the pride you have in your musical education and helps to promote the school to those who are impressed with your accomplishments. Encouraging talented students to attend NEC furthers the efforts of our admissions staff in recruitment of new students. Volunteers are always needed to help plan regional events, participate as institutional leaders, work on alumni committees, or to share your expertise on a career panel. As a partner in NEC’s future, we also hope that you will make a gift to the Annual Fund to ensure that others can take advantage of NEC’s exceptional music education.
We are here to celebrate the work of alumni in all professions and to continue the legacy of excellence in musical education at NEC. We do look forward to your involvement in the NEC community. Your questions and feedback are always welcome
Best Regards,
Cheryl Weber
Director of Alumni Relations
