The Alumni Association of Cibeins Agricultural High School was created back in 1923, first graduation year.
The Alumni are devoted to keep a close bond of friendship and assistance between former and today's students.
Around 700 former students are part of Cibeins Agricultural High School Alumni Association.
The members are committed to four priority activities:

1. Job seeking:

We regularly set up vocational and job forums with former students as guest.
The graduates can check our website "anciens.cibeins.@educagri.fr" to get an appointment, a work placement or a job.
We also offer special training for job seeking.
Our main partner is the Rhône -Alpes Region Council.

2. Communication:

The Alumni Association Newsletter has been issued every two months since 1923.
The letters column is the most popular of all.
We publish a shorter version of 20-30 letters from members in each issue.
In 1997, a survey was carried out and published in the Newsletter. It helped us to get detailed information on how young job seekers felt and what they worried about.
This survey has been of much assistance to us and to the young graduates.

3. The Alumni phone book :

This directory is issued every five years and helps all the Alumni to keep in touch and meet on private, recreational or official occasions :
- graduation anniversary meetings and cocktails
- Parisian dinner as a fringe event of the Agriculture Exhibition
- Visit of the French House of Lords or Senate with an Alumni Senator as guide

4. Cibeins Agricultural High School and the Alumni Association :

The President of the Alumni Association, Mr Jean Fourel who has worked for Rhône Poulenc Pharmaceuticals Corporation (known as Bayer now) is a most dynamic and dedicated personality. He is an official member of the Board of Directors of Cibeins school.
The Association is involved in the various official conferences and meetings of the school.
All the members are keen to keep a close bond of friendship between the older and younger generations.
