Help our students illuminate a more direct path to success. Consider participating in one-hour career conversations via video chat or phone. Sharing your career journey and advice takes very little time, but it can make a big difference in a student’s direction, preparedness, and confidence.

To get started, complete this short online registration and you will be contacted by an Undergraduate Academic and Career Advising staff member with details of the program. Our team will work to connect you with students based on the student’s interests.

Questions? Contact Matt Wheeler, associate director of alumni relations, at mrwheele@syr.edu.

Alumni testimonial

I would be happy to meet with her on a monthly basis and/or meet with other students. This is what being Orange is all about!” -Laura Cohen ’15, Women's & Gender Studies and Magazine Journalism
