A Reed education provides life-long benefits, beyond the skills gained from a world-class liberal arts education. Reedies are part of a community that offers networking, mentorship, and occasionally a used car at a good price (check out Switchboard!).
Additionally, all alumni have the ability to set up a Kerberos login, which lets you past the college's guard-dog firewall into digital resources like IRIS (where you will find ski cabin reservations and the Alumni Directory), the library, or the Archives' Reed Digital Collection (including the electronic thesis tower).
Check out these highlighted benefits:
A love of learning doesn't stop when you leave Reed, and neither does your access to JSTOR, the multi-disciplinary digital library of academic journals, books, and primary source! You'll need a Kerberos account to access these digital resources from wherever you are!
Local alumni are invited to reconnect with the life of the mind by auditing classes. Applications open three weeks before the start of any given semester. Use your Kerberos account to see what classes are being offered this semester at solar.reed.edu.
The extraordinary collection at the Reed library is open to you from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.* Photo ID and alumni card required! *Summit and Interlibrary Loan are not available to alumni.
Join us for one of Reed's many public events. Alumni Relations also sponsors monthly events—see upcoming Alumni Relations events and chapter events.
Switchboard is an digital platform where Reedies can ask for what they need and offer what they have to give. Whether you need advice, have a job opportunity, or are seeking something else, Switchboard makes it easy for you to connect with other Reedies. All members of our community come here to ask for help and help one another in return.
Reed partners with Meyer & Associates to offer alumni a range of attractively-priced insurance plans. You’ll find everything from health and travel insurance to pet and long-term care insurance. Visit their site, or contact them at 800-635-7801.
