Career Week

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.

Don’t Miss:

Capping off the week, join us at the Office of Alumni and Career Success Open House. 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.
