Being a Matie doesn’t end when you don the academic hood to receive your degree scroll at graduation. It’s a lifelong connection – to the people, the place, and the purpose that shaped you. With more than 220,000 alumni across the globe, the Matie Alumni Global Network is your bridge back to Stellenbosch University and to Maties wherever life has taken you.

Whether you’re settling into a new city or leading in your hometown, there’s an alumni chapter near you – and if not yet, then soon. Our 48 chapters (and growing) are spaces to reconnect, to share memories and mentorship, to volunteer your time, and to find belonging. From annual reunions and Homecoming weekends to professional networking and inspiring conversations, we make it easy to stay close, no matter the distance.

We also invite you to explore our two flagship programmes: SWAN, the Stellenbosch Women Alumnae Network, is growing women’s leadership across generations, and YAP, the Young Alumni Programme, supports our under-35s with career guidance, community, and life-after-graduation insights.
There are also ways to turn your Matie spirit into action. Campaigns like #BridgeTheGap which includes #Move4Maties and #Action4Inclusion allow you to make a real difference in students’ lives – helping to bridge financial gaps and open doors for the next generation.

Need to update your personal information, access your academic or financial records, request documentation or use the library? You’re in the right place – this is your Matie alumni home base.

This is more than a network – it’s a community for life. And it only gets stronger when you’re part of it.

Once a Matie. Always a Matie.
Stay in touch. Stay inspired. Stay connected.
