³Ô¹ÏÍø

Congratulations Class of 2025 on this major achievement! 

As you make this transition from ³Ô¹ÏÍø Student to ³Ô¹ÏÍø Alumni, we want to take this opportunity to encourage you to stay in touch and stay connected to ³Ô¹ÏÍø, to your classmates, and to other ³Ô¹ÏÍø alumni. 

You may be leaving Needham to embark on a new and exciting stage in your life but one of the great things about ³Ô¹ÏÍø is that, while you may leave ³Ô¹ÏÍø, ³Ô¹ÏÍø never leaves you. You are – and always will be – an ³Ô¹ÏÍøer. 

The Office of Development and Constituent Relations is happy to support your next steps as a college graduate. We are here to keep you connected to ³Ô¹ÏÍø and to other alumni through the Alumni Association. Membership is automatic and free.

We hope that you will share any ideas about how we may better serve ³Ô¹ÏÍø Alumni. I am always up to meeting for a cup of coffee (or in my case tea) in person or virtually. I encourage you to reach out to me at 781-292- 2288 or vcloudenduval@olin.edu. 

Below are some resources to help with the transition from student to alumni. 

All the best, 

Vernell Clouden-Duval, Director of Constituent Relations
