Bring alumni back to campus!

Soon there will be hundreds of EMU alumni and supporters involved in the Career Connection program, eager to provide insight and advice from their professional perspectives. Faculty have utilized alumni for specific projects and curriculum support. Career Connection mentors can connect with students both inside and outside the classroom through:

Career Mentoring
Volunteers share their professional experience and industry insight through short- or long-term mentoring via email, phone or in person. Some work with specific programs to counsel a targeted group of students in support of recruitment, retention and post-graduateion.

Practice Interviews
Students can practice their interviewing skills with professionals in the field and receive feedbak on their resumes and portfolios.

Guest Speaking
Bring alumni into your classroom or events to speak about specific industries, discuss trends or share insights.

Encourage your students

Students need your encouragement to learn the importance of networking and that it does take effort on their part. Please promote the Career Connection alumni mentor program and EagleCareers Experience (erecruiting site) to your students. If you would like promotional handouts, please contact Ken Ruppel at the Alumni Office at 7-0250.
