How to Make the Most of the CRS Alumni Network
As CRS alums, we are part of a network of thousands of people across the globe. Chances are that members of our community have been to the college you’re most interested in, or have a career you’d like to know more about. This page has resources which will help you connect with our alumni community of over 6,500 people in over 90 countries.

Advice on Networking with our Alumni Community
We ran a session on this topic during Virtual College Week 2020. Enjoy this video which walks you through how to take advantage of our alumni community through networking.
CRSearch Alumni Database
Please visit www.lajf.org/crsearch to access our alumni database. If you don’t remember your login or password, or to create a new one, just follow the instructions, and you will be in in no time.
For advice on how to access the database, you can follow the instructions below or watch a how-to video below.
Once you have accessed your account, use the dropdown menu to select Alumni Directory, as you can see in the image below.
A series of empty fields will appear, you can fill out any of them and then click search to find people that match your criteria. We recommend filling only one field at a time, for example, enter a college you are interested in in “University 1 Name”, that way you’ll maximize the responses you get back.
Once you have made a search, scroll down to view a list of people that match your search criteria. Please note that the field you search will not necessarily appear as a column, as only basic information will show up in that table. Click on DETAILS on the left hand side of the results table to find information about that person, including their contact details.
