Alumni Foundation Programs & Initiatives

What does the Alumni Foundation do? Here are some of the programs we’re actively working on.

Networking Receptions

The Bronx Science alumni network is one of the most powerful in the country and the Bronx Science Alumni Foundation hosts networking receptions to allow alumni to connect with each other.

PROJECT ACCEPTED

Project Accepted is an event devoted to alumni conducting practice college interviews with Bronx Science seniors. Project Accepted is an opportunity for students to meet with alumni for personalized help on how to prepare, practice and finesse their interview skills, develop their personal brand and hone their strategy for applying to college. Students need alumni help to learn how to make themselves stand out and how to put their best foot forward. Hundreds of alumni participate every fall allowing us to conduct more than 800 individual practice interviews. 

FAMOUS SPEAKERS FORUM

Bronx Science has a long history of hosting outstanding prominent speakers on campus. Past speakers include Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Nobel Laureate Robert Lefkowitz ’59, scientist George Yancopoulos ’76, astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson ’76, UN Ambassador Samantha Power and many more. 

Alumni in the Classroom Series

Each year several distinguished alumni speak to Bronx Science students about their careers and their path since Bronx Science. This is a unique way to connect with students in an intimate setting and for many of our students, they find connecting with alumni inspirational.

Site Visits

One of the best ways to prepare students for careers in an opportunity for students to visit a company and learn from professionals there. Past site visits have been to Google, Tesla, Facebook, Regeneron, NASA and more.

Alumni who are able to host students at their company, should contact alumnifoundation@bxscience.edu.

IDEAS Initiative Programs

Alumni with experience in engineering, computer science, innovation or entrepreneurship are encouraged to get involved as mentors with one of our new programs.
