Cape Verdean Alumni Network

The Cape Verdean Alumni Network was founded in 2004 by a group of college graduates from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, and Northeastern University.

As former executive board members of the Cape Verdean Student Associations at our respective universities, we saw the need to create an alumni network to continue working with and strengthening Cape Verdean communities locally, as well as in Cape Verde.
