Walsh alumni professionals volunteer their time to mentor students as they explore their vocational interests. These conversations help students decide a major or choose a professional path – by helping them better understand what the job actually looks like day-to-day to confirm whether it aligns with their interests and goals. The Career Mentorship program offers students the opportunity to meet and interact with alumni virtually or in person These alumni are available to students and fellow alumni for career coaching, mentorship, internship advice, mock interviews, resume reviews and more.
The Career in Classroom initiative invites alumni back into the classroom to share how they are using their degrees, helping students better understand the professional paths available after graduation. It’s also an opportunity to share best practices and industry innovations to spark excitement for students’ career futures.
