What does it mean to be a WNS Alum?

As one of our four pillars, WNS prides itself on its commitment to community. When you move on from WNS, although you no longer walk its halls as a student, you join a new part of our community: The WNS Alumni community. When you leave WNS as a student you become part of a larger WNS family, one that has grown each year since WNS began in 1980. We encourage all of our alumni to continue to find new ways to build and grow their relationship with WNS. With the goal of all alumni staying connected through the years, WNS offers our alumni multiple opportunities to get involved. We hope you will embrace your role as an alum and continue to be a leader for the next generation of WNS students who will someday join you in the WNS Alumni family.

If you have any suggestions or ideas on ways we can enhance our alumni community, we’d love to hear from you. Email us any time at alumni@wns-la.org.

We hope to see you back at WNS soon.

Warmly,
WNS Alumni Relations
