Alumni

One of the goals of our department is to keep our alumni involved. Most importantly this relates to staying in contact with people. Not only is it a good idea to check in with former professors but it is a good idea for alumni to check in on current students to offer pointers, advice, or opportunities for students to know about what they are doing. 

How you can help students

  • Share an update about your current job/career
  • Answer an email from a current student
  • Give advice on what the program can add/change to benefit students
  • Come to campus to talk about what you do
  • Join a video conference
  • Offer a day, week, or summer when a student could come an observe you at work
  • Offer internships (both for credit and paid)
  • Take part in mock interviews to help students prep to find jobs
