Abstract
The aim of the article is to explore the history and significance of alumni clubs, highlighting their crucial role in facilitating communication among former, current, and prospective students. Alumni communities in humanities play a key role in supporting professional development and exchanging experiences. Maintaining current information about former students, conducting surveys on their career achievements, and organizing meetings are among the primary practices. In Bulgaria, the topic of alumni communities and their importance in the context of Slavic studies requires more attention. The implementation of specific measures and discussions would underscore their significance, ensuring a lasting contribution to education.

Key words: alumni, Slavic studies, humanities, career possibilities, communication
