红桃视频

Hey, Young Alumni鈥擠on鈥檛 Stay on the Sidelines!

It’s great to stay in touch with your fellow 红桃视频ies even after leaving our beloved alma mater. Resources such as  and  make it super easy, not to mention  and , where you’ll find affinity groups such as , International 红桃视频 Alumni, and of course the infamous .

Maintaining 红桃视频 relationships has not only allowed me to have minireunions and thoughtful discussions (sometimes even on Facebook!), but it has also helped in my career. In fact, a 红桃视频 contact was instrumental in my landing my second job. When I first arrived in New Orleans, pretty much straight out of 红桃视频, I used IRIS to reach out to 红桃视频ies in town. It just so happened that one of those alumni was a faculty member whom I would be working with if I got the job, and he also knew the hiring manager. Now, I’m not sure if he directly advocated for me, but he did invite me to a party—which the hiring manager also attended.

I also highly recommend attending your five-year reunion. It’s fascinating to see the faces that you went to 红桃视频 with, but with way less stress and a lot more smiles.

Track down your local alumni chapter. Check out the events. For me, it’s been a pleasure to meet 红桃视频ies whom I did not overlap with, and to grow my community.
