About Us
Founded in 2014, the Brown Club of Silicon Valley grew out of the Brown Club of San Francisco to better serve alumni across the Peninsula, South Bay, southern East Bay, and Santa Cruz and Monterey counties.
Membership is automatic for Brown alumni in the region, with no dues required. The Club brings the local Brown community together through social, cultural, professional, and educational events—creating opportunities to reconnect with old friends, meet fellow Brunonians, and stay engaged with Brown close to home.
Our Mission
The Brown Club of Silicon Valley seeks to provide a community for our alumni and affiliates in and around the Silicon Valley. We do not charge club dues or membership fees and welcome participation from all interested members of the Brown Family, regardless of geographic location. We aim to foster connections between the University and alumni of all classes through a variety of events and activities throughout the year.
We aim to organize a series of events as diverse as our alumni community, including those in the following categories:
Social: happy hours, cocktail parties, sporting events and family picnics
Adventure: hikes, bike rides, and sailing trips
Cultural: wine tastings, museum tours, theatre outings and book talks
Educational: lectures by Brown faculty members and distinguished alumni
Professional: career development and networking events
Philanthropic: volunteer opportunities with local charities in and around the Bay Area
In addition to our events, we participate in programs aimed at bringing a bit of College Hill to the Bay Area, including a summer mentorship program for current Brown students interning in the area.
