We invite you to explore the various options for alumni engagement!

Alumni can support students through professional development, networking and employment opportunities.  Engagement options are flexible with both virtual and in-person events, as well as through one-on-one and small/large student group meetings.

Contact Vanessa Ortiz, Associate Director of Alumni Engagement for Career Services if you have any questions.
