A community of 39,000+ strong
Douglass alumnae are amazing. Your curiosity, drive, and genuine interest in the world keep you moving forward–and you always bring your communities along with you. If there’s one common thread among each of your individual stories, it’s the drive to give back.
Douglass creates opportunities for alumnae to connect with each other, wherever they may be. The College is invested in maintaining the unique strength of the Douglass alumnae community and fostering new bonds between alumnae and students.
Remembering Douglass' history is a powerful way we move forward. Today's Douglass students passionately celebrate the history of the College while confidently shaping it's future. Attend our events to continue your legacy and remain a part of Douglass' ever evolving story.
Your voice, your interests, and your encouragement matter to the 2,500 current Douglass students. As a mentor, future colleague, or friend, your experience and insight will impact them for years to come.
"I paid for all of Douglass myself by working continuously, receiving some scholarships and grants, and taking out loans. I want to help Douglass students with financial support so that they can earn their college degrees with as little debt as possible."
"Douglass is still where women learn to lead. Douglass still provides its students with the sisterhood and support so critical for women in today’s often hostile society. And Douglass still creates the co-curricular experiences that turn into giant stepping stones to the world our students will encounter after graduation."
"Douglass Residential College is an outstanding institution educating young women in fields of study that will surely transform our world for the good of all. Giving to Douglass is not only a sound investment in our future, it’s also my modest way of honoring the opportunities opened for me because I was Douglass-prepared."
From public service careers to industry-shifting entrepreneurship, Douglass alumnae make a difference for others throughout their lives. Some pursue visible leadership roles and some work relentlessly behind the scenes. Some push for societal change and some guide one person at a time through change.
