The Waseda University Alumni Association was founded in 1885, and since then has been active throughout Japan and around the world. At Waseda University, graduates are called Alumnus.

What is the Alumnus network “Tomonkai”?

``Tomonkai(稲門会)'' is an organization of Alumnus of Waseda University. Currently, approximately 1,400 Tomonkai are active, including local Tomonkai in Japan and overseas, occupational Tomon associations by industry and company, and seminar Tomon associations. The bonds of Tomon are a powerful source of support, including local and overseas support and information exchange.

Stay connected to Waseda even after graduation

The annual committee, selected from among all those graduating this year, will coordinate the holding of the annual Tomonkai, which will serve as the same group's meeting. "The Annual Tomonkai 5th Anniversary Festival'' is held on the 5th year of graduation. In subsequent milestone years, the university will invite you to "Homecoming Day"!

Also, the Waseda Card," a second student ID'' for Alumnus, is a must-have item. This card is issued by Waseda University and other institutions in partnership with credit card companies. The equivalent of 0.5% of the amount spent will be used as Scholarship to support current students, and there are various benefits such as a wedding congratulatory call service.
