Career Connections with Alumni is back for 2025!

On March 16, 2025, Alumni and Parent Engagement and the Career Center will collaborate on Career Connections with Alumni. This fun and informal event invites alumni to come back and assist current students with advice on career paths, networking, and any other questions they may have regarding their path after graduation.

Alumni will sit at tables according to the industry they represent, for example Finance, Education, or Marketing. Students who attend will get a chance to rotate to three different industry tables over the course of the event. Last year, Lewis & Clark staff members, who are also alumni, had their own table! If you are an alum who works for Lewis & Clark, we encourage you to join us! Follow this link for more information and to RSVP.  

This popular event has been one that students look forward to, as illustrated by the feedback we received from a second-year student; “I enjoyed meeting alumni who are genuinely interested in bonding with and helping out students with their future careers.” Other students were happy to practice networking in a friendly environment, “I enjoyed making connections with people in my field of interest. It felt much more real than cold-applying to jobs.”

Alumni also have a chance to network with each other at this event before and after lunch. An alum from the Class of 1975 explained, “It was interesting to hear about the career experiences and advice of my fellow L&C alums, in addition to learning about the interests and questions of participating students. It was also a great reminder of why attending L&C was such a valuable and rewarding experience!”
