If you haven&#8217;t looked into its work in helping students develop the skills, habits of mind, and values that are the foundation for life choices, career success, and active citizenship, please do so. There are so many ways that alumni can support our students on their vocational journey.<\/p>\n<p>Alumni are a critical way that students can connect with internships, learn about employment opportunities and how to navigate the hiring process.
