Wanted: Alumni from all schools for student networking events

January 16, 2007--Help ease the transition to the "real world" for another year of eager graduates from Tufts. Various programs offered by Tufts' undergraduate and professional schools offer an opportunity for alumni to network with current students and give them advice on everything from the basics of relocating, personal finance and workplace etiquette to the particulars of their field of interest. Students are very appreciative and find it extremely beneficial to talk with alumni about life after Tufts.

Below you'll find upcoming Tufts career programs where you can mix and mingle with students at informal networking receptions. Whether you're nearing retirement or just two years out, alumni of all ages are welcome and needed. Find the opportunity best suited to your experience below and follow up with the contact listed.
