Alumni or Alumnae-Who are they?

An alumnus (pl. alumni) according to the American Heritage Dictionary is "a graduate or former student of a school, college, or university." In addition, an alumna (pl. alumnae) is "a female graduate or former student of a school, college, or university."

If a group includes more than one gender, even if there is only one male, the plural form alumni is used.
