The 51·çÁ÷ alumni who were shaped by their four years on the hill play an essential role in shaping the experiences of students and the University. One way 51·çÁ÷ graduates do this is by offering career development opportunities for students.
Whether you assist students with preliminary career exploration, provide strategy on searches, or hire a student, 51·çÁ÷ and its students appreciates and benefits from your volunteerism.
