As a graduate of Chicago State University, you are among a distinguished group of more than 35,000 CTC and CSU alumni residing in 28 countries and all 50 states. We want to connect this powerful network with one another in ways that advance the University through networking, events, professional development opportunities, mentorship, and supporting current CSU scholars through scholarship and academic support.

With our new look, we're building new alumni programming by working with University departments, partners, and the alumni community. Join today and watch for exciting new programming and benefits later this year, and an opportunity this fall to weigh in on what you want from your alumni association.
