IvyPlus is a well-established, worldwide brand of academic institutions that principally includes the eight Ivies plus MIT and Stanford. Depending on the geographic area, other institutions (e.g. the Seven Sisters) will also constitute the local IvyPlus network.
The principal purpose of IvyPlus NJ is to foster fellowship among IvyPlus alumni clubs in the New Jersey area. IvyPlus events provide a wonderful opportunity for IvyPlus alumni to meet each other for social as well as business networking. The events are also a great way for the individual alumni clubs to acquire new members.
For the NJ area, we have established peer contacts with alumni clubs from Amherst, Barnard, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Cambridge, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Emory, Georgetown, Harvard, MIT, Mount Holyoke, Oxford, Princeton, Radcliffe, Smith, Stanford, Swarthmore, U Chicago, U Penn, Vassar, Wellesley, Williams, and Yale.
Here are some examples of IvyPlus activities in other locales:
- Princeton Club of Philadelphia
Fourth Annual Inter-School Alumni Winetasting
- The Boston Area Ivy Plus Alumni Associations
Big Fall Coctail Party
- The Ivy Singles Social Club of Washington, D.C.
Various events
- The Ivy Plus Society
Various Events
- Yale Club of Hong Kong
Ivy Ball 2005
- Club Thirteen
"Club 13" End-of-Summer Rooftop Happy Hour
From these examples, you may have noticed that IvyPlus events may be targeted toward particular audiences, e.g. general audience (everyone), young alumni (ages 21 - 39), singles, etc. IvyPlus events can be anything you can think of that would be enjoyed by your fellow IvyPlus alumni. For our part, we plan to organize a variety of events (e.g. wine tastings, happy hours, etc.).
Please contact us if you have any questions or if you have ideas that you would like to contribute for IvyPlus activities in our area.
