What Resources and Community Does InterVarsity Offer Alumni?

Updated

InterVarsity keeps alumni connected through a dedicated alumni community, ongoing resources, and ways to give back to the chapters that shaped them. If you were involved as a student, you can fill out the alumni form to receive updates about alumni events and connect with other alumni around the country. The ministry also offers perks and resources for life after college—from IVP book discounts to its podcast—and invites alumni to support their former chapter financially.

Joining the Alumni Community

The main entry point is the alumni form. Completing it puts you on the list for:

  • Updates about alumni events
  • Opportunities to connect with other alumni around the country

This is the starting step if you want to stay in the loop rather than simply follow InterVarsity's public content.

Alumni Resources

InterVarsity describes itself as still being present to help after graduation. The resources it names for alumni include:

Resource What it offers
IVP book discounts Savings on books from InterVarsity Press
Podcast Ongoing listening content for your journey with Jesus

The stated purpose is to "continue helping you on your journey with Jesus"—so these resources are framed as spiritual formation and connection, not career services or professional networking.

Supporting Your Alma Mater

Alumni can give to their former chapter. InterVarsity frames this as supporting "the ministry that helped shape your faith in college and beyond." If a specific chapter mattered to you, directing a gift there is the most targeted option; general giving to InterVarsity supports the broader mission of reaching students on every campus.

Who This Is For

These pathways assume you were previously involved with InterVarsity as a student. If you are a current student looking to join a community, that is a separate step—use the "Join an InterVarsity community" sign-up instead. If you are faculty, InterVarsity's Faculty Ministry covers integrating faith and work, which is a different track from alumni resources.

Practical Notes

  • The alumni form is the single action that unlocks event updates and alumni-to-alumni connection.
  • Resource access (IVP discounts, podcast) does not appear to require the form, but the form is how you hear about alumni-specific gatherings.
  • Giving to your former chapter and joining the alumni community are independent—you can do either or both.
