Fall and Spring semester opportunities allow for you to connect with alumni in a social setting to discuss interests, career fields, graduate schools and opportunities with Earlham Alumni Council members, African and African American Alumni Board members and other regional alumni.

Opportunities to attend and network at regional internship and job fairs occur and transportation is provided to the larger events and where there is interest from students.

To help you prepare for all of the above, we help you:

• Provide workshops to improve your business etiquette and networking skills
• Help you create a LinkedIn profile and learn how to use it for building professional connections
• Be mindful of how you present yourself through email, voicemail, online and personal dress style.
