YEAR TWO: Find Your Professional Network
Class of 2023, we encourage you to use your second year as alums to get to know our professional networks and find your Wesleyan career-building community! We’re also hoping you’ll use this year to engage again in some of the activities you were introduced to last year.
-
Attend a Professional Networking Event
Whether you’re considering heading to law school, looking to break into a creative field, or anything and everything in between, we hope you’ll find a social hour or virtual event to introduce yourself to a community of Wesleyans eager to give each other a boost! -
Network Intentionally through WesConnect
If you haven’t already, sign up for WesConnect! This is like your personal Facebook exclusive to the Wesleyan community. Here you can find friends from your time on campus, stay up-to-date on what’s happening with Wesleyans around the world, and seek a mentor! -
Check In with the Gordon Career Center
Don’t forget that you have lifelong alumni access to the Gordon Career Center! With advisors specializing in diverse fields of employment, consider exploring their resources and maybe even making an appointment with an advisor. -
Make Your Second (or first!) Gift
We hope you’ll make a gift to any part of Wesleyan that matters most to you! We celebrate any and every gift. If you’re unsure of where to designate your gift, “Wesleyan’s Greatest Need” provides the school with the flexibility to spend your gift where students need it most. -
Vote for Alumni-Elected Trustees
Every year, Wesleyan’s Alumni Association elects three new members to the Board of Trustees to serve a three-year term. You had the opportunity to vote as a graduating senior this past spring – let's make it an annual habit! These trustees help to influence the overall direction of Alma Mater. -
Attend a GOLD Party
Each year, we hold simultaneous GOLD parties in our major markets—usually on the first Thursday of April. This year our Graduates of the Last Decade will gather on Thursday, April 3, 2025, for parties in Boston, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. This event is not to be missed!
