Alumni Resources

Alumni Voices

In 2021, we launched Alumni Voices, a collection of Beaver alumni interviews that span decades, industries, and continents.

The Alumni Voices project—spearheaded by Brett Siegal ’20 and Alex Shigueta ’20—gave us the opportunity to connect with our incredibly talented and interesting alumni in a new way. We are over 120 interviews in, surpassing our goal of 100 voices for 100 years. If you or someone you know should be featured, let us know!

  • Bonus: All those interviews led to some pretty fantastic advice that we compiled into this collaborative essay of sorts. Enjoy!
Class Notes

What’s new in your life? Did you recently start a new job? Get married? Send children off to college? Retire and pursue your real passion? Earn distinction for a particular talent or achievement? Take up a new hobby? Visit with other Beaver Alumnae/i? Please take a moment to let your classmates know what you are up!

Transcripts

Need your Beaver transcript? Please complete the online transcript request form. Your official transcript can only be mailed directly to the institution that needs it (i.e., a college, graduate school or employer). You may request that an unofficial copy be sent to you for your own files.

BVR Connects

In case you missed it, we came up with a new way for you to stay connected with your classmates and network with the full alumni community: BVRConnects.

Andrew Daniels ’21 helped us design, build, and launch BVRConnects during his Senior Experience. This tool is a one-of-a-kind virtual platform that allows our alumni community to mentor, network, and connect anytime, anywhere.
