Today, associations organized by Jiao Tong's alumni can be found in the United States, Japan, European Union countries, Canada, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mainland China. They call themselves Jiao Tong (Jiaoda) people.
Jiaoda alumni, no matter where they are, are playing a significant role and active part in business, academic and politic circle. Deep in their mind, an inspiring word has already been impressed: "Yesterday I went into Jiaoda with honor; Today I will be an honor to Jiaoda".
The routine services of these alumni associations include: updating contact lists, holding conferences, conducting Sino-foreign cultural exchanges, and keeping contact with other alumni associations throughout the world.
