Alumni Engagement
Once a Cougar. Always a Cougar.
Once you've graduated, you may think that your connection to the department must end. Nothing could be further from the truth. We enjoy hearing how your transition is going and we’re always here to help whenever you are in need. Our faculty often:
- Write recommendations for admittance to graduate or law schools.
- Recommend resources to help support your career goals.
- Discuss opportunities that may help you move forward when you feel stalled.
Yes, we have the next class of students who need our time and attention, but we haven't forgotten you. We want to help you succeed. Reach out when you have a need. Call or stop by to catch up. Come to the annual Alumni Gala and revel in your connection to the department, the College and your peers. This connection will never end - once a Cougar, always a Cougar!
Our Alumni: Inspirational. Knowledgeable. Charitable.
We take pride in who you’ve become. We’d love it if you would share your gifts with us:
- Become a career mentor.

- Volunteer as a career panelist or guest speaker.
- Attend department or campus-wide events.
- Share great news and be featured in our blog [link].

Help where and when you can. Spark new ideas. Share your knowledge. Be that inspiration. Near or far, there is much to do to pay it forward. Contact us to learn more.
