Once enrolled, volunteers continue engaging with students as mentors by speaking in classrooms, offering internships at their workplace, and giving extended professional development as Executives in Residence.

Alumni Engagement

Sometimes the first step to greater involvement is to just show up. Attend an alumni networking event after work, join your local alumni chapter or alumni group, or attend a basketball game. From there, you can move on to leadership positions within the Alumni Association and serve on a university committee. Learn more.
