Alumni AssociationAn alumni association is an association of former students (alumni). These associations often organise social events and are active as fund raisers. Groups of alumni of a certain university in a foreign country are often referred to as "Alumni Chapters". Alumni associations are mainly organised around universities or departments of universities, but may also be organised among students that studied in a certain country. They are often considered to be the university's or school's old boy network (or old boys network or good old boy network). In Anglo-Saxon countries, membership of an alumni association often goes without saying. On the European continent, alumni associations are getting more and more popular as universities gain less money from governments and depend more on networking within the civil society for funding.
