<p>Smith College boasts about the success of the "Ageless Women's Network"--the all-female answer to the "Old Boys' Network" :) Smith alums really do look out for each other.</p>
<p>Michigan claims to have the biggest alumni network--at least that was the claim during last year's info session.</p>
<p>thxxx anymore infoo???</p>
<p>For some reason, Georgetown seems to emphasize its alumni, and the few alumni I know seem to be really active for G'town.</p>
<p>Holy Cross has an apparently REALLY enthusiastic alumni network for such a small school.</p>
<p>i think there are very few schools that have a really awesome nationwide network. usually colleges tend to be strongest with in their coast, state, or city. ie USC is notorious in so cal. as I imagine NYU is in nyc.</p>
<p>As someone said before me, University of Michigan has the largest alumni network and it spans around the world. No matter where I've been; New York City, Miami, Chicago, etc. You will see University of Michigan vanity plates.</p>
<p>The best-organized, formal alumni network and mentoring program run by the school that I've ever heard of is Princeton.</p>
<p>The Trojan Family network is not only strong in California, but around the world. Forbes Magazine rated the network second.
There are alumni organizations all across the United States, including Hawaii, Alaska, NYC, Texas (five groups there), Virginia and Washington, DC among many others.
Trojan active alumni groups are in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Paris, Mexico, Malaysia and London to name a few.<br>
Many of these groups sponsor scholarships for incoming freshmen and have networking socials to meet new members who have moved to that area. The SC Alumni Association has a network of more than 120 alumni organizations that keep Trojans connected around the world.</p>
<p>what did forbes magazine rank as the first rated network?</p>
<p>im not surprised usc or mich are up there. i could see florida or texas being up there too</p>
<p>HYPSMC, obviously. Then, Notre Dame, Wellesley, probably.</p>
<p>Not the biggest, but for a small school, Wabash</p>
<p>NeckKid99,
Forbes rated a university outside of the U.S. as No. 1.</p>
<p>BC has a good Alumni network.</p>
<p>USC, Ivies, BC, ND, Michigan.</p>
<p>Ivies and Notre Dame. Of course, every school has some level of alumni network, especially those first tier ones.</p>
