Message from the Director of Alumni Relations and Volunteer Engagement

 

Dear FIRSTNAME:   

 

How the world has changed in only two months. The COVID-19 pandemic has required us all to pivot—to change where we work, how we work, and, in some cases, if we work. The Office of Alumni Relations and Volunteer Engagement, in partnership with the College's four career offices, is keen to support our alumni by offering more career workshops and webinars, all for free, to help our graduates effectively manage their job searches and professional development during this challenging time. We are here to help and will continue to do so for as long as it is needed. Please check out our full alumni events calendar to sign up for one of our upcoming programs.

 

Meanwhile, our students need your help. We have learned that close to 40 percent of CUNY students have lost their jobs since the pandemic began. We are understandably concerned for the class of 2020 and their career prospects after graduation. I encourage you to HIRE BARUCH by sharing employment opportunities with our qualified students.

 

Please fill out this short Hire Baruch form and let us know what opportunities you might have available.
