No matter whether you graduated five or fifty years ago, there are many ways to stay connected with your alma mater and fellow alumni/ae.
The Office of College Admissions at Drew invites alumni/ae, parents of current Drew students and graduates, and friends of the University to join the Drew Alumni/ae Recruitment Team (DART).
DART members are asked to represent Drew in their communities. This may involve making phone calls or sending e-mails to prospective and admitted students, representing Drew at college fairs or at other admissions-related events, and perhaps conducting student interviews. The Admissions Office provides ample information regarding program offerings, highlights of University life, and admissions policies. DART members provide their enthusiasm and their own Drew success stories.
The Career Advisory Network is the online mentoring program, available through DREWnet, where alumni/ae can volunteer to serve as a mentor for fellow alumni/ae and/or current students. Through one-on-one interaction, via e-mail, phone or in-person meetings, alumni/ae share their knowledge, experiences and provide insight regarding careers, industries and organizational cultures.
Use this tool to get an inside look at career options through informational interviewing and networking. This program is not designed for job search, but rather serves as an educational and informational program to enhance career exploration.
