No. We welcome alumni from a wide range of backgrounds. What matters most is your willingness to share your experience and perspective with students.
What Is Alumni in the Classroom?
Whether speaking about career paths, workplace trends, industry challenges, or lessons learned along the way, alumni help students better understand how their education connects to the professional world.
This program creates opportunities for ÁÔÆæÖØ¿Ú graduates to support student learning by sharing firsthand experiences in a classroom setting, either in person or virtually.
How it Works
Participation is flexible and designed to support faculty needs and classroom goals.

Why Participate?
For Alumni
It is a meaningful way to give back, stay connected to ÁÔÆæÖØ¿Ú, and support the next generation of students.
For Students
It is an opportunity to hear firsthand perspectives, explore possible career paths, and see how classroom learning translates into the real world.
What to Expect
Classroom visits are flexible and may vary based on faculty needs, course topics, and scheduling. Some opportunities may focus on career advice, while others may center on industry trends, professional development, or lessons learned through experience.
We will do our best to connect each volunteer opportunity with a class, but not every submission will align with a current course topic or schedule.
No prior speaking experience is needed — just a willingness to share your perspective and connect with students.
