About the network
A simple idea: show current students where a WECAN education can take them — by letting graduates tell their own stories.
What this is
The WECAN Alumni Network is a home for the graduates of the Wayne Excellence Career & Academic Network. At its heart is a directory of alumni profiles — a living "where are they now" that students, families, and fellow graduates can explore.
You'll find graduates in medicine and the skilled trades, in classrooms and courtrooms, in startups and research labs. Different paths, one starting point.
Who it's for
Current students see real, relatable examples of where their education can lead — including paths that don't run through a four-year college.
Alumni get a way to stay connected, share advice, and give back simply by telling their story.
The school community gets a source of pride and a recruiting tool that speaks for itself.
How it started
This project began as a student initiative that stalled for lack of time and tools. It's been picked back up as a volunteer effort — built pro-bono, with no budget — to finally give the idea a real home.
Content is maintained by the school's marketing team, with profiles submitted by alumni themselves and reviewed before publishing.
