Alumni Career Volunteers

About Alumni Career Volunteers

Alumni career volunteers help fellow Explorers, both students and alumni, to develop their careers through events and programs such as mock interviews, resume reviews, job shadows, mentoring, and career discussions:

• Sponsor internships or co-ops for students
• Post job openings for students and/or experienced professionals

• Contribute to La Salle’s Center for Entrepreneurship by speaking in a class, hosting a workshop, mentoring students, or getting involved in major projects – contact Steve Melick, Executive Director
• Participate in the School of Business Bankers’ Day (executives teams assess the business plans of undergraduate students enrolled in BUS 100: Business Perspectives, and decide on financing, including loans and interest rates) – contact Kristin Wentzel
