  1. 1

    Alumni are the former students of a school, college, or university, spoken of as a group. In careful Latin-minded English, alumni is the masculine plural, or the plural for a mixed group of men and women; a group of women only is alumnae. In real American campus talk, alumni is the default plural for everyone, and many people never say alumnae at all.
