Find Alumni Near You

Two people speaking at the Indianapolis Cardinal Networking Forum

Connect with Fellow Cardinals Worldwide!

With over 218,000 living alumni, there’s a Cardinal community wherever you go. Our interactive map allows you to discover alumni groups in your area so you can connect, network, and share experiences with fellow graduates from Ball State. It’s simple to get involved—whether you're hosting an event or attending one of our virtual meetups. 

If there’s no alumni group in your area, don’t worry! You can help start one! We'll assist you in establishing or joining a local group.

Get Involved in Affinity Groups

Another way to connect is through one of our affinity groups. These groups allow you to network with alumni who share specific interests, career paths, or life experiences, enhancing both personal and professional connections.

Why Stay Connected?

The Ball State alumni network is more than just a social connection—it’s a community built on years of shared experience and mutual support. Here’s why it matters:

  • Professional Networking: Access to career opportunities, exclusive job postings, and mentorship programs that can help you advance in your field.
  • Alumni Benefits: Enjoy special discounts, travel deals, and other exclusive offers available only to Ball State alumni.
  • Give Back: Engage in meaningful ways by participating in local volunteer efforts, fundraising campaigns, or mentorship programs, and help strengthen the university’s impact on current and future students.

Whether you're looking for career opportunities, wanting to support the next generation of Cardinals, or simply reconnecting with old friends, there’s always a reason to stay connected with Ball State.
