We are recruiting RIT Alumni with a positive outlook, who are excited about and willing to make a difference. We seek those who are as enthusiastic about RIT as we are! If you are enjoying success in your career, and would like to participate in the career development of our current students, we invite you to contact us. We are seeking alumni who are motivated to make a significant contribution to RIT by volunteering your time and talents in the Career Services area.

You may assist Career Services by providing one-on one student mentorship, career advising, conducting small group presentations or developing employment partnerships. Your time commitment is minimal, but the impact lasts a lifetime.

If volunteering for Career Services is of interest to you, read on…we have four great options for you to consider.

• Mentoring Program (One-to-One Paired Mentoring)
• Career Advisory Network (Informational Interviewing)
• Career Speakers Series
• Assist Career Services Staff

If you are interested in volunteering, please email Alumni Career Services Coordinator, Michelle Magee, mamoce@rit.edu

Mentoring Program
(One-to-One Paired Mentoring)
If you are a serious professional who is looking to give back by assisting a new professional entering your career field, you should consider becoming a Career Mentor. Alumni and friends of the institute have volunteered to work with current RIT students in a one-to-one mentoring relationship for a minimum of one year to assist students in job search strategies, professional development and personal growth.
If you would like to assist a student by providing your professional insights, general career guidance and enthusiasm for what you do, please consider volunteering to become a career mentor. If you are interested in participating, please email Alumni Career Services Coordinator, Michelle Magee, mamoce@rit.edu. Visit our Mentoring Program page for more information.

This program is co-sponsored by RIT’s Alumni Network Board of Directors and the Offices of Cooperative Education and Career Services, and Alumni Relations.

Career Advisory Network
(Informational Interviewing)
The RIT Career Advisory Network is comprised of alumni, employers, parents, and friends, representing diverse career fields nationwide, who have offered to share their career experiences with students and alumni. Career Advisors are available to provide informational interviews to current students and fellow alumni upon request.

Communication with professionals can provide realistic information about career options, employment conditions, and job responsibilities. In addition to information about their careers, career advisors may lend insight or advice regarding the city in which they live, and they may be able to refer you to other contacts in the industry. If you would like to become a career advisor, please email Alumni Career Services Coordinator, Michelle Magee, mamoce@rit.edu

Access to Career Advisors will be granted to students and alumni who are seeking employment, through your RIT Job Zone account. Alumni wishing to gain access to Career Advisors and other related services should contact RIT's Office of Co-op & Career Services at 585.475.2301 | 6905 TTY, to schedule an appointment (phone or on campus) with their program coordinator.

Career Speaker Series
If you are interested in speaking to groups or organizations on campus about your work, career field or profession, please let us know. We are happy to arrange a time and location for you to speak (formally or informally) with our current students in every discipline at RIT. We offer campus programs on specific career fields, as well as practice interview sessions, job search techniques programs and workshops geared for experienced alumni professionals. If you are interested in volunteering, please email Alumni Career Services Coordinator, Michelle Magee, mamoce@rit.edu

Assist Career Services Staff
With your assistance, we can expand RIT’s strong reputation for career education excellence, and build on our strengths, as one of the best career-related cooperative education programs in the United States.

The Career Services staff would like to work directly with you, if you can assist us in making appropriate contacts within your organization for the purposes of developing full-time and co-op partnerships.

Please let us know if you can help us in identifying the appropriate personnel within your organization. We would like to work with you to contact those who would be interested in learning more about our excellent career-related programs and employment services to employers.

Do important people in your organization know about RIT's successful programs? Is our staff in contact with the correct "decision making" individuals in your company? Can you assist us in developing partnerships with professionals in your field who can hire our students and alumni? Could you make introductions for our office?

If you believe you can assist our office as an Alumni Employment Ambassador, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your ideas and recommendations. If you are interested in volunteering, please email Alumni Career Services Coordinator, Michelle Magee, mamoce@rit.edu
