The Stanford Business School Alumni Association has an official GSB alumni group on LinkedIn*. The School recognizes the value of LinkedIn's network of over 20 million professionals and the need for our alumni to make the most of their connections to the GSB and fellow alumni while using LinkedIn.

How Do I Join This Official GSB Alumni Group?

GSB alumni and students can join as long as your GSB alumni email address (@alumni.stanfordgsb.org) is in your LinkedIn profile

Steps to Join
  1. Who Can Join?
     GSB alumni and students may join, and your eligibility is automatically verified by your GSB alumni email address. Instant access to the SBSAA LinkedIn group is granted if you include your GSB alumni email address in your LinkedIn profile.

    If you are an eligible alum and did not use your GSB alumni email address when requesting to join, please simply rejoin after adding your Stanford GSB alumni email address to your LinkedIn profile.

How to Use the LinkedIn "Alumni" Feature

The "Alumni" feature is a great tool to learn the following about GSB alumni:

  • Where they live
  • Where they work
  • What they do

To use this feature you must have the Stanford Graduate School of Business in your LinkedIn profile. On your profile page you will find the option to add your school under "Education." Select "+Add a school."

Next, go to the top navigation bar to "Contacts" and select Stanford Graduate School of Business, or if you already have the Stanford GSB in your profile, go to linkedin.com/college/alumni

Official Stanford GSB Alumni Group on the LinkedIn

Please note that not all of our alumni use LinkedIn, yet ALL are listed in the password-protected GSB Alumni Directory available to you from the GSB Alumni website. Because of this, when updating your business information, remember not only to update your LinkedIn profile but also to update your official GSB Alumni Directory profile. This will ensure that alumni who depend on connecting with other alumni through the GSB's directory will still be able to find you.

*What is LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is an online network to find and leverage professional opportunities, now and throughout your career. LinkedIn enables you to:

  • Create a business profile and professional summary
  • Find and be found by colleagues, clients, and classmates
  • Leverage tools to find and reach the people you need
  • Build a powerful network of trusted professionals
  • Discover professional connections and business opportunities

All relationships on LinkedIn are mutually confirmed, and no one appears in the LinkedIn Network without knowledge and explicit consent. Only GSB alumni and students are able to join the Stanford Business School Alumni Association's LinkedIn group.
