Top 5 Ways Alumni Can Enrich the Student Experience
Institutions with strong student communities are often the most popular and successful. A vibrant alumni network not only benefits the Institution’s brand image and attracts new admissions, but it also provides current students with great guidance, mentorship, and career opportunities for the future.
1. Career Path Exploration
Alumni can offer a glimpse into the real world, sharing their own academic journeys and insights into various topics. By organizing career fairs, workshops, or networking events, they can help students explore different paths and make informed decisions about their futures.
2. Webinars & Workshop: Alumni Mentorship Programs
Alumni serve as guiding lights for current students, offering insights and advice that only come from experience. Mentorship programs, where they are paired with students, provide invaluable opportunities for guidance, whether it’s academic, career-related, or personal development.
3. Networking Opportunities
Alumni networks are like hidden gems just waiting to be discovered! Picture this: by hosting cosy coffee meet-ups or creating buzzing online hubs, they can be the ultimate guides for students and their dream careers. They don’t just open doors; they swing them wide open to internships, job opportunities, and connections that are pure gold.
4. Contribute Resources and Knowledge
Alumni can give back to iqrasity in various ways, such as donating books to the library or conducting interactive sessions to share knowledge and add value. We believe that students can only enrich themselves when they receive such first-hand experience from their notable alumni.
5. Facilitate Internships and Job Opportunities
While studying the most important question that arises in a student’s mind is what are the career opportunities for this particular field that I’m currently pursuing, will I be able to find good internships while studying to get some first-hand experience, are there gonna be big companies that hire from this field, is there any way I can get a job abroad with this degree? etc, etc.
