Coffee Connections is an opportunity for you to connect with a Weatherhead graduate over a cup of coffee or online. This opportunity allows alumni to share their experiences and career insights with you and gives you the opportunity to share their CWRU and Weatherhead experience with alumni.
There have been great success stories of students gaining knowledge about industry trends and learning networking tips, and alumni feeling more involved with the school.
The meetings run 30-45 minutes and can be in person or virtually depending on the location of the Weatherhead School graduate. In ideal cases, you’ll stay in touch throughout the semester and begin to build an ongoing relationship.
How to Participate
Each fall, students are invited to complete the Coffee Connections registration form, and Weatherhead School staff match students with a graduate. Please understand that our staff may not be able to make exact interest or preference matches in all cases, but we know that any connection between students and alumni can be beneficial as stories and experiences are shared.
Also, please note that depending on the number of students interested in participation in the program, there may be a waitlist. You'll be matched on a first-come, first serve basis in conjunction with match preferences.
Undergraduate Coffee Connections is a program that runs in the fall semester. You must attend a Coffee Connections workshop in order to participate in the program.
