Students

The Alumni Networking Program provides an important forum for matriculates and alumni to discuss areas of mutual career interest, and a superior network for career information and advancement. The program is most valuable when we enlist participants across a wide range of professions and graduating years.

How it Works

As a participant in the Program, you will be providing Mailman School students and other alumni with online access to your name, employer name and location, title, job function, degree type/date and department, and business e-mail address only. Initial contacts are made via e-mail. Although your contact with students/other alumni could be as brief as a telephone conversation, the most beneficial type of exchange would be a meeting at your place of business or other mutually agreeable venue.

Program participants should, at minimum, expect to share:

• Personal and professional insights into your chosen field of work.
• Reflections on the most and least satisfying aspects of your work.
• Information on professional opportunities (e.g., the career ladder) that exist in your chosen field.
• Comments regarding your education and experiential preparation for your chosen career. Was it adequate? How might you have been better prepared?
• The names of other personal and/or professional contacts who might provide additional insights.

Additional areas of inquiry might focus on more specific job function, industry and employer information.
