Reflection on alumni experience is a study that aims to describe and identify aspects during the thesis writing process. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of case study research on alumni of the Library and Information Science Study Program Universitas Brawijaya. Then the selection of alumni as informants considers the impact after writing the thesis is completed. The results of the study indicate that the alumni reflection on the experience of writing a thesis shows that there is a learning process from the process of submitting a title, searching for data to processing data. The learning process begins independently by focusing on the process of implementing alumni information literacy skills. Then there is the information management process which is the most important part because the process affects the decision-making for each action. In addition, the learning process becomes more complex by involving other parties. Or more simply, the involvement of other parties is the role of the thesis as a forum for collaborative learning in forming new understandings that can be useful across generations.
