The Career Center values alumni participation in our programming, and your perspective and advice is critical for students as they prepare for their careers. Get involved as a speaker or facilitator in the following programs:
Career Meet Ups
Career Meet Ups are quick, 30-45 minute small group sessions focused on specific career and industry topics that are led by career coaches and industry professionals like you! This is a great option for students who want to gain beneficial content in a small group setting while still receiving answers to individual questions. Review upcoming Meet Up Topics. See a topic you’re interested in hosting? Connect with Brandi Ledermann blederma@charlotte.edu to get started.
Panelist/Guest Speaker
The Career Center hosts a variety of industry-focused panels throughout the academic year. If you’re interested in speaking on a panel and representing your employer and/or the industry you work in, complete this interest form or email Lori Brasile for more information.
Alumni Spotlight
Our students love to see alumni thriving at work, so we want to show you off. This allows students to get a better understanding of what you do, where you work, and anything you want to share to inspire or motivate students. Let us know your interest and Sydney Gallup at sgallup@charlotte.edu will be in touch.
