Hosted by the Office of Alumni and Career Success
Each fall, Longwood hosts Career Week to help students develop their professional skills and prepare for life after graduation. All students, from freshmen to seniors, have the opportunity to attend panel discussions, a networking event, meet alumni, and join in the Career fair to find internships and opportunities
Career Week is also a fantastic opportunity for alumni to engage with current students. Participate as a panelist, join the networking session, or serve as a Career Ambassador. It’s a great way to connect with students and fellow alumni while sharing your professional insights.
The highlight of the week is the Fall Career, Internship, and Graduate School Fair, featuring 50+ employers and graduate schools. Many Longwood alumni will be present as representatives from their respective companies.
Capping off the week, join us at the Office of Alumni and Career Success Porch Party. This is a chance to explore the resources offered by the office and the Center for Career Success while enjoying the company of alumni and friends. Plus, you might score a Color Wars shirt!
