Celebrating ’Cane grads

This May, the University of Miami Alumni Association welcomes ’Cane graduates into a network of more than 190,000 alumni. Through these unprecedented times, there are various digital tools, resources, and methods to help you stay connected to the U, and fellow alumni, and friends.

Stay involved and informed through alumni.miami.edufind career resources, University news, and networks to engage with. Help us celebrate the class of 2020, and support them with a personal letter and a commemorative tassel.
