NEC Connect (necmusicconnect.com) is a digital networking community for alumni and students of New England Conservatory.
Whether it's reconnecting with old friends (or making new ones), sharing photos and news, or applying for jobs posted by alumni, you'll find it on NEC Connect.

No. NEC Connect does not replace our social media channels. We still want to interact with you on LinkedIn and Facebook. In fact, you can message people through LinkedIn by clicking the ‘Connect on LinkedIn’ button. NEC Connect is about creating a space for NEC alumni and students to interact, participate, and inspire each other through mentoring and sharing of experience. It’s different from social media because it enables you to find and connect with the extensive NEC network in a really easy way. Find out below about all the things you can do on it.
NEC Connect makes it easier to maximize the benefits of being part of the NEC network:
