  2. Alumni network snapshot • Purpose: a resource for IB graduates from around the world and an opportunity to broadly raise the profile of IB schools • The majority of registered IB alumni (though not all) graduated after 2005 when the IB began an effort to establish an alumni network that encompasses all schools and all programmes • Registered alumni agree to receive correspondence directly from the IB by providing a valid email address and are kept up-to-date through a quarterly newsletter • To date, more than 26,000 alumni have registered for the alumni network • This includes more than 4,800 alumni from the class of 2012 – and this number is still growing • Each year registration peaks in July along with the release of exam results for May candidates • Since 2005 approximately 3% of each graduating class of IB diploma programme candidates has chosen to register for the global IB alumni network
