Connect with alumni online
There are several OBA resources available to help you connect with alumni online via LinkedIn.
Exclusive for OBA Network members, the OBA LinkedIn group offers alumni and the School a platform to share and exchange news, opportunities, and events with each other.
Membership of the group also opens communication opportunities as members can direct message each other, without the need to be a first-degree connection, or have a premium account.
We recommend using the OBA LinkedIn group in conjunction with another tool – Find Alumni.
This tool pulls together all members of LinkedIn that have Saïd Business School listed in their education, which includes students and alumni of our degree, diploma, and Executive Education programmes, into a searchable directory. You can use this tool to filter down your searches by specific parameters including geographical location, company, industry, field of work, and more.
A full LinkedIn toolkit is available on the OBA website.
You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter for alumni and School updates!
