The US Naval Research Laboratory Alumni Association fosters a vibrant community of former NRL employees by promoting lifelong connections, supporting professional growth, and preserving the legacy of innovation and excellence in naval research.

The camaraderie among NRL alumni is unparalleled, stemming from the unique working environment that made NRL not just a place of employment, but a second home. Memories of the NRL bowling league, the harmonious singing group, and the adventurous ski club are cherished reminders of the special bonds formed during their time at the laboratory. These activities cultivated a sense of unity and teamwork that extended beyond professional duties.

The NRL Alumni Association strives to keep these memories alive, celebrating the rich history and unique culture of NRL. By organizing reunions, networking events, and social gatherings, the association provides a platform for alumni to reconnect and reminisce. Moreover, the association plays a pivotal role in mentoring new scientists, offering guidance and sharing invaluable experiences. This mentorship is crucial in maintaining the high standards of excellence that NRL is known for. Additionally, the association serves as a resource for the Department of the Navy and the Department of Defense, leveraging the corporate knowledge and expertise of its distinguished members to support ongoing and future scientific endeavors.

Joining the US Naval Research Laboratory Alumni Association is open to all former members of NRL. Reconnect with old colleagues, share memories, and contribute to the continued excellence of naval research.
