alumnus

/əˈlʌmnəs/noun

A current or former student of a school or university, of any gender.

Example sentence

“As an alumnus of the college, she often returns for reunions.”

Strictly singular; the plural is "alumni". Informal English sidesteps the Latin grammar entirely with "alum" and "alums".
