Alumni Engagement<\/h1><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Whether it is networking or speaking in a class or giving to a scholarship fund, there is a way for you to stay connected and impact the next generation of Volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumni can host a student visit to their business or organization, or even assist in coordinating a student trip to their city or region. These trips expose students to the work professionals and alumni, such as you, are doing out in the real world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mentor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re always looking for ways to introduce students to alumni, or for alumni to network with each other. We organize various social and career development events where alumni can meet with students. Alumni can also volunteer to be professional mentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
