About the FEB Alumni Network
The FEB Alumni Network consists of more than 30,000 alumni worldwide and keeps on growing. The FEB alumni Network is managed by its foundation, which was established in 2012.

Our mission
The FEB Alumni Network offers an inspiring, international academic community where alumni, students, and partner organizations come together to learn, collaborate and grow.
Alumni play an important role in strengthening the FEB community. Whether you are developing your career, expanding your social or professional network, seeking executive education, or looking for academic expertise for your organization, FEB remains a partner throughout your journey.
In return, your experiences and perspectives help the network and the faculty to stay connected to real-world developments. Alumni are key ambassadors of FEB: through your contributions, insights, and engagement, you help improve education, inspire future generations of students, and deepen connections with the professional world.
Stay connected
You can stay connected to the FEB community by registering to RUGconnect. RUGconnect is the official online platform for alumni, students and staff of the University of Groningen. Over time, it will grow into a dedicated space for professional networking, peer advice, job opportunities, and alumni news.
