Following are the areas we are seeking alumni expertise, as well as areas students and new graduates can receive assistance:

Alumni can connect with individual NMU students and new graduates to answer brief questions or share your experiences regarding specific industries or fields.

Alumni can share with a broad audience or group of NMU students your knowledge of an industry, field or special topic area. Some examples are a white paper distributed electronically, blog or social media posts or virtual presentations.

Alumni can conduct mock interviews to help students prepare for real-life interview situations. Interviews can be conducted in person, by phone or virtual (Zoom style).

Alumni can assist NMU students and recent graduates prepare for grad school, including keeping the application process on schedule, choosing the right program, and more.

Alumni can review and offer advice on resume and cover letter development.

Alumni can connect with an NMU student or fellow graduate who is looking to move or is new to their area to answer questions about the city or region in which they live. Topics can include neighborhood advice, childcare options, local business information, and more.

Money Management: Alumni can provide advice on establishing sound financial habits, such as setting up a personal budget to balance income, monthly living expenses, paying off debt, planning for larger purchases, and retirement, while also living life a little.
