Western Connecticut State University is proud to recognize our distinguished alumni.
The quality of a university is often measured by the success of its alumni. Among WestConn's more than 23,000 alumni are women and men who have distinguished themselves in many diverse professions and walks of life. Our alumni are dynamic forces within Connecticut, throughout the United States and internationally. They shape our communities through professional studies, such as education and nursing, and through business, the visual and performing arts and the sciences.
