Resources – Mills College Legacy Alums

Benefits for all Mills alums.

Take advantage of the Oakland-based services offered to Mills College alums! To access some campus resources—including the library, pool, fitness center, and free or discounted concerts—you’ll need a membership card available free of charge from the Alumnae Association of Mills College.

Mills alums are also now eligible to receive benefits and discounts afforded to Northeastern alumni, whether they’re available online or in Boston. Read more info about those benefits, including scholarship eligibility, in this article from the Mills Quarterly or by visiting alumni.northeastern.edu.

Library Privileges

All alumnae have access to the F.W. Olin Library and are eligible to use many of its services with a free membership card from the AAMC, which will allow you to set up an account. You may borrow books, periodicals, videos, DVDs, and CDs from the physical library; its web-based catalog is accessible throughout the library and online.

For more details about using the library, visit the Alumnae Library Services page.

Pool & Gym

Your AAMC membership card gives you access to the Haas Pavilion fitness center and gymnasium, the Trefethen Aquatic Center, and the Meyer Tennis Courts. For details about using these facilities, visit the Campus Sports and Recreation page.

Alumnae Email

Personal email accounts with the domain address alumnae.mills.edu have been issued to all Mills College alumnae, up through the Class of 2024. These accounts are hosted by Google Apps for Education and provide all of the features associated with Gmail. The format of your Mills alumnae email account is based on your first initial and last name, similar to your student Mills email address (if you had one). The format is permanent and is not customizable.

To claim your email address for the first time, please contact mills.alumnaerelations@northeastern.edu. For technical questions, please contact help@northeastern.edu.

Visiting Campus

Even though Mills College is now part of Northeastern University, Mills alums are always welcome on campus! If it’s been a while since you’ve paid a visit, review the online directions to campus.

All visitors—including alums with a yellow Alumnae Association of Mills College (AAMC) card—should be prepared to show a government-issued ID at the front gate. If you arrive by car, it’s recommended that you request a guest parking pass, which will permit you to park in any available parking spot that is not restricted for residents, faculty, or staff.
