In addition to financial support, Penn State relies on alumni for everything from helping to recruit future students to mentoring existing students to hiring recent grads and alumni for internships and permanent employment.
There are many ways EME alumni, family, and friends can share their skills, knowledge, and experiences with students. Some of the ways to volunteer are listed below.
- Mentor students in-person or virtually through the EMS Career Advancement Network (CAN), the college's student-alumni mentoring program
- Offering technical expertise and guidance to student organizations or teams
- Provide information about internships and job opportunities
- Judging and providing feedback on student design projects
- Sharing your knowledge and experience through special seminars and lectures
- Help students decide their major - participate in career discussion panels
