Alumni & Networking
Professional development often begins with hands-on collaboration. We highlight and sponsor student organizations that bridge the gap between academic theory and industry application.
- Student Organizations: Connect with our student clubs/chapters of professional societies (SWE, NSBE, SHPE).
- Industry and Professional Chapter Events & Programs: Host and attend industry specific events in the Science & Engineering Hall -- and virtually -- like the Careers in Energy Panel (2026).
CareerConnect is your central hub for career planning. Schedule advising appointments, register for workshops and events, access employer information, and track your progress.
Handshake connects you directly to internships, co-ops, and full-time roles. Search and apply for opportunities, register for career fairs, and discover company visits and networking events.
Jobscan helps you make your resume and cover letter stand out. Compare your documents to job descriptions, optimize for applicant tracking systems, and increase your chances of being noticed.
