On Monday, you will receive a personal invitation to join an exciting new online space from our Head of School and Class of 1977 Alumnae, Maya Nelson.
But you can explore today and be among the first to join our new JIS Alumni Online Community!
For more than seven decades, JIS Dragons have spanned the globe, and now we hope to bring everyone together in one place — a hub for connection, opportunity, and support.
We’ve listened closely to your feedback, and this dynamic digital space has been designed in direct response to what you told us you want: a community where Dragons everywhere can reconnect, collaborate, and continue to be part of the JIS story. We hope you’ll join and help bring this platform to life.
(Be sure to check your Spam and Promotions folders if you do not receive your personal invitation by Tuesday September 23)
Our alumni have always been the heartbeat of JIS. Now, wherever you are in the world, you have an easy-to-use platform to:
And this is only the beginning. Over the coming weeks and months, our Alumni Team will roll out even more ways for you to get involved.
Look out for a growing Dragon Careers section with opportunities for mentoring, internships, job boards, career advice, and a space to showcase your own Dragon Business.
We’ll also be launching Decade Forums and Clubs for shared interests and hobbies. There will be a Resource Center with a Yearbook Archive, and even opportunities to support JIS projects close to your heart through secure online giving.
Like any community space, this platform will only ever be as strong as the people who use it. Its success depends on you — our Dragons. The more you log in, connect, post, share, and support one another, the more valuable our online community will become to its members.
So think of this as a “start-up” phase. We’re laying the foundations now, and with your involvement, we’ll grow into a thriving hub that reflects the energy and generosity of our alumni.
Together, we will create a collaborative and inspiring space for every generation of Dragons.
To celebrate this fabulous launch, we have 10 JIS hoodies to give away! Every month from now until next June, we will select at random a member from our new JIS Alumni Online Community to be the lucky winner.
We will mail the Hoodie of your choice, in your size, directly to you wherever you are in the world!
We know how important trust is. That’s why the new platform is designed with privacy and data protection at its core. You’re always in control of your own data:
This community is built for you, and we’re committed to respecting your privacy every step of the way.
Join today and enjoy a new Dragon world of connection!
