Our Alumni

A Growing and Connected Community

Hudson alumni are always expanding opportunities for current students: hosting campus visits at Queen’s, McMaster, UofT and McGill; leading panels to share study abroad experiences or first-year advice; collaborating with teachers to deliver workshops; and dropping in to support school events or just say hello!

Grade 11 and 12 students at Hudson join our private Hudson College Alumni Network on LinkedIn to receive postsecondary advice, connect with mentors, discover alumni-led opportunities and access professional development insights from Hudson grads.
