About the Classical Alumni Network

Founded in 2025 following the Society for Classical Learning's inaugural Alumni Summit, the Classical Alumni Network emerged from a shared vision among graduates of classical education institutions: "Wouldn't it be nice to have somewhere to go where people actually get our obscure references?" What began as a few alumni wondering if they could expense wine as "Symposium supplies" has evolved into this website you're currently looking at. We're basically the digital equivalent of those late-night dorm room conversations, except now we all have jobs and back pain.

We don't have chapters in major cities (yet), no regional coordinators to email, and our "robust online platform" is, well, you're looking at it. But what we lack in organizational infrastructure, we make up for in the ability to quote dead philosophers at parties and make everyone uncomfortable.

Today, the Classical Alumni Network boasts dozens of members (we're working on it). We continue to grow at a pace best described as "modest" while remaining true to our founding principles: connecting people who peaked intellectually in college, providing a space where "Well, actually..." is considered good conversation, and proving that a classical education is useful for at least one thing—making really good jokes about the fall of Rome.
