Constructor Alumni represents the overall network of alumni from our affiliate institutions: Constructor University, Constructor Institute, and Constructor Academy. The Alumni Office organizes events and programs specifically for alumni from individual institutions and for the alumni population as a whole. As a member of the network, you have access to the knowledge of your fellow alumni and access to facilities via Constructor Pass.
Beyond the Pond Alumni Association is the official alumni association of Constructor University. Anyone who has studied at the university for at least one semester is eligible to become a member. The Association promotes the education of current and future students via the Alumni Scholarship Fund. The fund grants annual scholarships and is supported by the donations of alumni and friends of the university.
Benefits of being a member of the Alumni Association include the following:
Wherever you live or work there are multiple ways for you to stay in-touch and get involved throughout the Constructor Alumni Network.
With alumni scattered across the globe, our Regional Chapters are one of the best ways to connect with fellow alumni right where you live. Chapter leaders serve as liaisons between your local chapter, the Alumni Office, and the Alumni Board. Leaders assist in the planning and promotion of events that are valuable to local alumni. Leaders receive a complimentary ticket to Homecoming while the Alumni Office helps financially with local events. Interested in leading your local chapter or starting one?
Our alumni mentoring program connects alumni directly with students or each other. This is one of the most rewarding ways alumni can affect the development of the next generation of leaders.

The Alumni Office works closely with the Career Services Center to promote career training, events, and opportunities to our alumni. There are multiple opportunities for our alumni to be involved with the university on a professional basis.
The university seeks to harness the experience and expertise of the alumni community via the Alumni Impact Council. Alumni serving on the council will provide qualitative feedback and support while actively contributing to the university's development. The committee meets 2-4 times per year with at least one member of university leadership always in attendance. There are five focus areas for the council:
The Constructor community has a strong tradition of launching start-ups and entrepreneurial ventures. Alumni and students can learn from each other and share their knowledge and expertise through our Constructor Alumni Entrepreneur Community.
Alumni can also get involved in the Synthesis Start-Up Incubator program, which nurtures early-stage start-ups from ideation to execution. Alumni can benefit from our vast network to help guide them through the steps necessary to see an idea to fruition while experienced alumni can serve as mentors to lead alumni and students. Connect with Synthesis on LinkedIn to stay up-to-date with their exciting events and programs.
Direct donations to the university can support various projects from academic and research support, infrastructure improvements, student scholarships, socially-conscious campaigns, and more. Donations to the Alumni Association support the Alumni Scholarship Fund, which awards yearly scholarships to incoming students.
*For those alumni who live in the US, you can support the university through donations to CUFA. Many US-based companies offer matching programs that allow your support to the university to go further.

The CAN represents all the alumni throughout the Constructor ecosystem, regardless of where they studied or worked. The Alumni Association is specifically for alumni of Constructor University. The AA has an ownership stake in the university and a seat on the Board of Governors. Members of the AA are part of the CAN, but CAN members are not necessarily members of the AA.
Currently, Constructor Pass is only available to alumni with an alumni email address through the Alumni Association (@jacobs-alumni.de email addresses) or Constructor Alumni (@alumni.constructor.university email addresses).
Not sure if you are eligible? Contact the Alumni Office for more information.
Currently, it is only available to the alumni as detailed in Question #2. Eventually, the Pass will be available to all alumni community members.
As the Alumni Association holds a minority share in the university, it exists as a separate individual entity apart from the university. This, along with adhering to data protection regulations, means that all members must opt-in to join the association.
Most of the fees go directly into the Alumni Scholarship Fund, which helps fund future students’ educational pursuits. As the AA is independent of the university, some of the fees go towards organizational purposes, such as maintaining the AA website.
The Registrar’s Office oversees these requests. Please contact them for all academic inquiries.
The university has a created a document detailing the name change, which is available to accompany your academic documents. You can access it here.
Please contact the Alumni Office, we will gladly assist you with this.
Please contact support@jacobs-alumni.de for all issues regarding accessing your alumni email account and the Alumni Portal.
