How to Message an Alumni on LinkedIn

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to reach out to a LinkedIn alumni via direct message.

Quick summary

LinkedIn's Alumni tab on company and school pages lets you quickly find and message former classmates or colleagues who share your background. Use this feature to expand your professional network by sending a direct message or connection request with a note directly from an alumnus's profile.


Steps

  1. Go to a company or school page on LinkedIn to begin your alumni search.
  2. Click the 'Alumni' tab located below the page logo and name to view alumni listings.
  3. Scroll down and click the profile of an alumnus you want to contact.
  4. On their profile page, click the 'Message' button or send a connection request with a note to initiate contact.

📌 Why this matters

LinkedIn's Alumni feature is one of the most underused networking tools on the platform, giving users a direct, low-friction way to find and contact people who share a school or employer. Reaching out to alumni on LinkedIn dramatically increases response rates compared to cold outreach because of the shared connection. Whether you're job searching, recruiting, or building a professional community, knowing how to navigate to the Alumni tab and send a personalized message is a high-value skill. This demo makes the entire process clear and repeatable in just four steps.
