Step One:
Fill out their Intake Form.
Each alum has their own set of questions designed to provide them with basic information about you and your questions.
They will use this helpful information to guide the conversation.
Step Two:
Send them an Email.
The confirmation message of the intake form will provide you with their email address.
It’s important that you take this step to introduce yourself. They will have your information from the intake form, but it’s your responsibility to request a time to connect.
Step Three:
Enjoy the Conversation!
Show up on time. Write down your questions in advance. Be you.
You belong to a powerful alumni community. These hand-selected alumni are excited to meet you. Stay curious and you’ll build your network in meaningful ways.
If you have difficulty reaching one of our alumni advisers, please email wfualumnicareers@gmail.com and our team will sort it out! We’ve all missed an email before – but we want to ensure you’re getting connected in ways that are helpful to you.
*Important Note: After you submit the intake form on an alumni career adviser’s page, you’ll get their email address on the confirmation page. It’s up to YOU to then email the career adviser to set-up a conversation!*
