Today to Join the Dyson School's Alumni Network

Overview top

The Dyson School's undergraduate and graduate alumni, current students, and faculty are invited to become part of the new Alumni Network.

The first chapter has been formed in the New York City metropolitan area to give our alumni the opportunity to reconnect with their fellow classmates and establish contacts with Cornell business peers working in a wide variety of industries and agencies.

Alumni will also play an important role in helping current students learn more about career paths and job and internship opportunities in their companies and organizations through the Alumni Mentorship Connection.

Alumni Mentorship Connection top

The goal of the Alumni Mentorship Connection program is to provide academic and career guidance to current students from alumni who have traveled down these paths once before.

As an Alumni Mentor, you will be sent 3 to 5 questions from a current student (e.g., what was your favorite class, which student organizations did you join, did you have a summer internship, where do you work now). You can answer these questions via e-mail or, if possible, during a 5-minute phone conversation with the student. Professor Dale Grossman will be helping to oversee the program and all student communication.

To become a mentor, please submit the online address update form. Please feel free to contact Brady Rice with any questions about the Alumni Mentorship Connection program.
