Stay Connected Online

Your Alumni Association is here to meet you right where you are in this time of social distancing and uncertainty. We’ve converted several of our professional development workshops, young alumni events, and even some of our Alumni Nights Out into virtual learning and engagement opportunities for you to take advantage of from the comfort of your home.

Check out what’s available now below.

Lunch Hour Career Conversations

Join us for lunch each week as we dive into relevant, timely career topics! Each “Career Conversation” will include 15-20 minutes of instruction from our very own certified career coach, Angela Hayes. These webinars are designed to provide assistance and training around rethinking the way you work, job search tips, staying relevant in your career during COVID-19, and more. Each webinar will conclude with a Q & A session with Angela as well as fellow attendees. See the list below for upcoming topics, and if you’re unable to join us live at noon MST, webinars will be archived here. Career Conversations webinars supported by Canvas Credit Union.
