Access2Alumni is a career mentoring event during which alumni from the College of Arts and Humanities return to campus to share their insights and experiences. Complete details are available here: www.ter.ps/A2A Register here: www.ter.ps/rsvpa2a

Explore your career goals! Discover new and interesting career directions!  Strengthen your networking skills!

What you can expect:

  • Dress code is business casual. You can expect to see alumni in jackets, ties and dress suits. Alumni know students dress informally; you'll feel more comfortable and confident if you dress professionally.
  • When you arrive, there will be a check-in table where you will receive a nametag and program.
  • When you enter Orem Hall you are welcome to sit at one of the many roundtables. The tables will have signs indicating career fields, and there will be about 3 alumni at each table representing that industry.
  • There will be 3 roundtable sessions of 15 minutes each following the keynote address. At the discretion of the alumni, the conversation can be table-wide or individual/small group discussions. There will also be alumni hosts who will be stationed in the back of the room as floaters. Please network with them as well.
  • During each session, please expect the following:
    • Alumni will lead the conversation and begin with brief introductions
    • Students are encouraged to ask questions and share their career interests or uncertainty
    • Show respect for your fellow students and allow everyone to participate
    • Respect the ending time of session. At the chime, please switch to a new table.
  • Many alumni enjoy hearing from students afterwards. Send an email to say thank you, ask further questions, request a resume review, or inquire about a job/internship. While this is not a career fair, some students have connected with internships and future employers.
  • There will be plenty of food and refreshments at the back of the room. Please help yourself!
  • Please fill out the evaluation. You will be entered into a drawing for a special prize.
