How can alumni benefit from and contribute to the Guilds?

The Guilds of Kalamazoo College are designed for alumni to lend their passions, expertise, and time to help shape the experiences of current and future Kalamazoo College students.  At the same time, alumni can build their own professional networks and keep a meaningful, life-long connection to “K”.

The Guilds offer alumni numerous opportunities to connect with students, faculty, staff and other alumni around interdisciplinary issues that challenge humankind.  The Guilds’ “communities of practice” around Business, Health, Sustainability, Justice & Peace, and Law are all looking for the knowledge and professional experience of alumni and friends of the College.
