Alumni Benefits and Resources

The Perks of Being a Bluejay

Some things never change. The trees turn vibrant gold and red in the fall. The Victory Bell rings after every home win. And you’ll always be a Bluejay.

As a member of the Elmhurst alumni community, you can take advantage of exclusive benefits, including career support, campus access, discounted tickets and more. It’s just another reason why Elmhurst is always your home away from home.
