Some of the ways you can help as a member of the Alumni Career Network include:
- Providing information on general economic, operational and employment trends.
- Providing regional information on cost of living, points of interest and community organizations.
- Sharing information about your own career and suggesting ways students and alumni can break into a particular field.

Participate in Career Connections
Career Connections is typically held during spring break and provides CWRU first and second-year students the opportunity to shadow alumni in the student's career and geographic area of interest. If you are interested in hosting a Career Connections student, please contact Laura Papcum.
Want to hear more about Career Connections? Listen to the CWRU Spotlight alumni podcast episode about the program.
Be Our Guest
Students consistently tell us the presence of an alum at our events and programs provides a valuable perspective. Have you considered sharing your knowledge and expertise? Most alumni choose to get involved through one or more of the following activities:
- Serve as a guest speaker on a panel.
- Lead a career workshop or presentation.
- Provide details on open positions within your organization.
Contact Laura Papcum if you have an idea or would like to arrange a volunteer opportunity.
Beyond Volunteering
