This year, the Career Center has 163 alumni volunteers, each ready to meet with up to three students. To apply, students just need to submit their resume on Handshake and complete a brief MS Form indicating the alumni they’re interested in meeting by the deadline of Friday, November 22 at 11:59pm.
Selected students will be introduced to their alumni connections in December, and meetings will take place virtually between January 6-20.
From an earlier email to students:
Dear students,

Gain real-world insights into industries, roles, and organizations while building meaningful connections with alumni who’ve been where you are now!
How Does WesLink Work?
If accepted, you’ll be paired with alumni for individual conversations based on your interests. Each alum is matched with 1-3 students, and once you’re connected, you’ll arrange a virtual meeting together sometime between January 6 – 20, 2025, during the University’s winter break.
Who Can I Meet?
Browse profiles of the alumni involved to find alumni who align with your interests. In the application, select 3-10 alumni you’d like to meet, and we’ll do our best to match you with at least one.
