100k Alumni Infographic (Text-Only)


Santa Clara University celebrates a major milestone, over 100,000 living alumni. 

Our Santa Clara community celebrates an important milestone this year – we now have over 100,000 alumni around the world, in all 50 states and over 100 countries. Broncos are everywhere! While the size of our community continues to grow to impressive heights, one truth holds steady: we’ll always be one family. Collectively, we share endless memories. Bronco connections, school pride, lifelong learning, unique stories, and a strong commitment to our homes, schools, and communities.

As of July 2018, SCU living alumni total totalled over 101,034 alums. To put that in perspective, this number is 2.5 times the capacity of AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.
