Exploring career paths? Want more feedback on your resume? Need to practice for an interview?

Alumniii Office Hours give you the opportunity to schedule 1:1 meetings with an alum for advice.

As former students, alumniii have travelled a similar path, and now they want to help you navigate your path.

🔀 Alumniii will change monthly. Some will stay, others will rotate out, and new faces will join! This cycle runs through January 2025.

🤔 How do Office Hours work?

  • Members of the iii community may schedule a meeting with any alum.

  • Review the alum profiles below and, if available, visit their LinkedIn to learn more. 

  • When you find a good fit, click "Schedule A 1:1 Meeting"; you'll be redirected to that alum's Calendly page. 

  • Check their availability and choose a meeting time.

  • Prepare for your meeting (i.e. why did you choose this alum, what questions do you have for them...?).

  • And, of course, attend the meeting and have a great conversation!

✍️ Please Take Note:

  • "🤝 Formal Mentorship" - this alum is open to mentoring you. Mentorship typically involves goal setting and regular meetings over an extended time period. This Google Doc can help with structure.
  • Meetings are for guidance and advice - not to ask for internships or jobs.
  • "No Shows" are unacceptable and unprofessional. If you cannot make a meeting, cancel it. If you "no show" more than once, your ability to participate in Office Hours will be restricted.
  • A "thank you" message is always appreciated. When applicable, share outcomes too! For example,  if an alum helped you prep for an internship interview, let them know how your interview went.
  • Feedback is welcome; contact Mary Kilcoyne to share.
