Alumni Association

同窓会 is an association of former classmates. 門 represents a whole institution of learning, not just a class or year group within it (e.g.赤門 as a synonym for Tokyo University, referring to its famous red-coloured gates); so a 同門会 is an association of former students of the same institute of learning. "Alumni" is the Latin plural masculine noun commonly used to refer to such people.

agree Peter Tuffley : Suggested translation: Alumni Association (or alternatively: Fellow Students' Association, but I think this is less good).
