Thanks for your interest in learning more about how you can support career development efforts at your alma mater. Here are a few tips to get you started.

3 ways for alumni to get involved

There are several ways you can help us support students at your alma mater. Here are 3 of the most common ways alums help out:

  1. Post a full-time, internship, externship, or job shadow at your organization using Handshake, the career management platform used by ND and more than 1,000 other colleges and universities.  
  2. Introduce us to hiring managers at your company/organization to hire ND students.
  3. Serve as a guest speaker at our Alumni & Friends Insight Series or other student events where you can share industry knowledge, interviewing tips, how to network, and more.
