Social Networking . . . Find a Lobo Pack!

Opportunities for Networking: We create a fun and engaging environment with other UNM alumni with events such as Welcome New Grads receptions, whitewater rafting, wine/beer tastings, Homecoming receptions, family-oriented events, and the Dinner for 12 Strangers.

Lobo Connections: As a new graduate, moving to a new and unfamiliar place can be an exciting, yet stressful experience. You may want to connect with a chapter leader already established in that area and ease your anxiety. Lobo Connections connects graduating students and young alumni with alumni across the country.
