Alumni Chapters

JSOM alumni, students, and alumni relations staff networking

Learn about alumni chapters in your community or profession.

Stay involved with other Jindal School alumni, our world-class faculty and staff, and professional partners through alumni events, held at the UT Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management, other venues around the DFW area, elsewhere in Texas and nationwide.

Are you willing to help establish a Jindal School alumni affinity chapter that builds upon your career success? Maybe you are ready to start a chapter that gathers alums in your city or region? Or lend your leadership skills to an existing chapter? The Jindal School staff can help you get started.

Chapter activities may include happy hours, helping with prospective student recruitment, hosting UT Dallas or Jindal School speakers, or hosting chapter meetings on campus that coincide with campus-based events.
