Remember that, as an alumnus or alumna (defined as anyone who has completed one semester in the College Division of Juilliard), you are entitled to some significant benefits and services, both at the School and from companies nationwide.On campus, you receive a 10 percent discount at the Juilliard Bookstore by showing your alumni card. (You can get one by visiting the Alumni Relations table, which will be available after the commencement rehearsal and the ceremony, or by stopping by the Office of Alumni Relations.) In addition, you are entitled to reading room privileges at Juilliard's library, use of the Juilliard/S.A.B. cafeteria, and two free tickets (as available) to any concert at the School through the Concert Office. You will also receive a free copy of The Juilliard Journal in the mail.You are also entitled to e-mail through the School; in July 2004, your student e-mail account will automatically be converted to an alumni account. This means that it will be changed as follows: the word "alum" will be added before ".juilliard.edu. For example, if your previous address was jane.viola@juilliard.edu your new address is jane.viola@alum.juilliard.edu. If your student account forwarded mail to another address, you will need to set it up again on the Juilliard E-mail Gateway.Other available benefits are listed on the alumni portion of Juilliard's Web site (www.juilliard.edu/alumni) and include student loan consolidation, insurance, and discounts for car rentals, area hotels, and much more. Juilliard alumni are also part of the Working Advantage network and can get discounted tickets for movies, Broadway shows, and sporting events.In the near future, the Office of Alumni Relations hopes to launch an online Juilliard Alumni Network, which will provide ways for alumni to connect with one another around the world. Please contact us at alumni@juilliard.edu or at (212) 799-5000, ext. 7344, if you are interested in being part of this exciting opportunity.And don't forget that you can always take advantage of Juilliard's Office of Career Development as well as the Professional Intern Program to help you navigate the challenges of a professional life in the arts. The Office of Career Development coordinates a job newsletter, provides career counseling, and will list alums in the Private Teacher Directory. Through the Professional Intern Program, chosen applicants can participate in a "hands-on" experience working with professionals and administrators in the fields of technical theater and arts administration.Congratulations and good luck! Keep in touch with the Office of Alumni Relations to stay abreast of alumni benefits and events.
