These may be organized by Alumni Associations and are often social occasions for fundraising. Alumni networks are an intrinsic part of the student and associative life in higher education institutions. They are also known to be richer and more active in Public Universities. For students, as for companies, this network, also known as an alumni association or alumni network, is of great use: sharing
the values acquired during studies but also recruitment, good knowledge of the potential of the university graduates. It is also one of the major advantages of joining a alumni organization. But why is the presence of this network within an institution so important? It allows the foundation of a community of students who have attended a alumni organization together and, above all, it encourages students and graduates to rally to shared values. From the HSC to the Bachelor's degree, through the Master's degree, regardless of the program, everyone is involved and it also makes exchanges between current and past classes easier. Graduates are a university's first ambassadors. The alumni network thus constitutes the university's recognition. Furthermore, this network is also often called upon to meet various criteria of business school rankings. There are many opportunities for a university graduate: the alumni association network also helps him or her to find a job, and for former graduates it facilitates the recruitment of their colleagues by sharing job offers internally. Financial support for students is also important: from the apprenticeship tax paid by graduates at the head of companies to specific grants awarded to students or cultural projects, aid and support is one of the benefits of nurturing and running this network.
