Community Connections
The School makes it easy to stay connected with other alumni. The first step is joining the Woodrow Wilson School Graduate Alumni Community on LinkedIn, where alumni can connect with more than 3,500 WWS graduates and current students.
How to Join the LinkedIn Group
- Log in or set up a free account.
- Use “Princeton University” in your education section instead of “Woodrow Wilson School” to connect with your WWS peers. More than 75,000 Princeton students and alumni are part of Princeton’s LinkedIn Community, including many undergraduate WWS alumni who have also pursued careers in public affairs and would be happy to connect with you.
- Search Tips: Enter several words in the keyword search box to find people working in your areas of interest (e.g., policy cybersecurity research). You can also narrow your search by region, organization, or skill set. Always include policy as one of your keywords to get the best results.
TigerNet Alumni Directory
Although LinkedIn is the primary way current students and recent graduates identify and connect with WWS graduate alumni with similar interests, alumni can still view contact information for classmates in TigerNet, the University’s central alumni database.
Using TigerNet
- Keep your profile updated to receive invitations to on- and off-campus networking events. WWS sends graduate alumni invitations to these events based on your preferred address and/or Princeton Alumni Association (PAA) region.
- Use the TigerNet Alumni Directory to find all WWS MPA, MPP, and Ph.D. alumni. Select “Graduate Alumnus” and “Woodrow Wilson School” as the department to search all WWS graduate alumni profiles. You can narrow your search by selecting your graduation year.
- Most alumni have a personal email address visible in the Home Contact Information section of their profiles. Some also have their work email address listed in the Career Information section.
