How it works

Three steps, one network

AMAN is built to be simple to join and genuinely useful from day one.

01

Join the directory

Add your name, industry, location, and graduation year. You're searchable in minutes.

02

Share what you know

Post job leads, refer clients, and open your network to fellow graduates you can trust.

03

Mentor the next class

Current students connect with alumni in their field for guidance and real introductions.

What we offer

Built around three pillars

More than a directory — a structured network with purpose at every level.

Alumni directory

Searchable by industry, location, and graduation year. Find a fellow graduate wherever your career takes you.

Referral web

Job leads, client referrals, and hiring opportunities shared within a circle of graduates you already trust.

Mentorship pipeline

Students connect with working alumni for career clarity, informational interviews, and real-world guidance.

Who it's for

Every stage of the journey

Whether you graduated last spring or years ago, there's a seat at this table.

AMAN is student-founded and currently independent. We are actively pursuing a formal partnership with the university's Office of Alumni Relations and Chief Strategy Officer. Our goal is to operate as a recognized alumni organization.
Your information is only shared within the AMAN member directory and is never sold to third parties. The directory is accessible to verified Ave Maria graduates and current students only.
AMAN is completely free to join during this founding phase. Our goal is to build the network first. Any future premium features will be clearly communicated to existing members well in advance.
Absolutely. AMAN is for every Ave Maria graduate, regardless of when you graduated. Alumni who are further along in their careers are some of the most valuable members of the network — as mentors, connectors, and employers.
Yes. Current Ave Maria students are welcome to join as associate members. You'll have access to the mentorship pipeline and can start building relationships with alumni in your field before graduation.
You'll be added to the founding member list and receive an email confirmation. As the platform develops, you'll get updates on new features and opportunities to get more involved. No spam — just meaningful updates.
