We're seeking motivated alumni volunteers who are as enthusiastic about RIT as we are. If you are enjoying success in your career and would like to participate in the career development of our current students, we invite you to contact us. You can make a significant contribution to RIT by volunteering time and talent in the Career Services area, as a Professional Network advisor, mock interviewer, or workshop panelist. Your time commitment is minimal, but the impact lasts a lifetime.
Advisors are available to meet with alumni on a one-on-one basis based on your field of interest, to help with career and employment matters, including job search, making a career change, and dealing with layoff or downsizing issues. Our Success Skills workshops prepare alumni for their job search, and are offered on site throughout the year, as well as online through narrated presentations.
