What is I am U | for Students
Imagine if you could talk to future versions of yourself.
What would you want to know?
What choices would become clearer?
How different could your life be if you could see its outcomes?
I am U is not just another nonprofit organization. It is a cross-generational learning platform that unites students, alumni, universities, and businesses to create a space where shared experiences and life-earned lessons combine with academic knowledge to help students shape their future with clarity, confidence, and purpose. By speaking to their future selves
Through I am U, you can participate in in-person Life Studios, where alumni lead engaging, story-driven sessions. You can also go online to create your own Trusted Guides Circle—a group chat with alumni across generations who offer insight, support, and lived experience whenever it’s needed. This is not just one voice, but many. Together, these Guides represent a deep well of wisdom, shaped by different paths, challenges, and triumphs—all shared from a uniquely relatable point of view.
This isn’t just mentorship or career advice. It’s a way to look ahead, gain clarity, and grow both personally and professionally—with the guidance of those who’ve already lived it.
Instead of navigating the future alone, I am U gives you access to the collective experience of a diverse alumni community—all focused on helping you build a meaningful life by combining what you learn in school with the wisdom of how to use it.
I am U not only helps you understand how to apply the knowledge you gain in the classroom—it gives you the tools to build a life beyond it. And it all starts before you even graduate.
Because knowing how to think is not the same as knowing how to thrive.
