AlumNet:
UAlbany’s Career Network
AlumNet is an online network of UAlbany alumni who
have volunteered to provide advise and guidance to
fellow alumni and students about career planning.
Alumni and students access the Network through UAlbany’s
online community. To volunteer, there are two simple
steps to follow. First, register for the online community.
Second, complete a mentoring posting.
To
register for the community and sign up online to be
a
AlumNet volunteer, go to the online community homepage
at http://www.alumniconnections.com/olc/pub/UAB/
and follow the simple directions to register.
Then click on the Career Services link on the homepage
and then the Mentoring link to become a mentor. It
will take about five minutes. If you’re already registered
for the community, go to the homepage and click on
the Career Services link and then the Mentoring link.
It’s as simple as that.
How
Will I Be Contacted?
The online community is a password protected environment,
available exclusively to UAlbany alumni and select
students. The University’s Career Services
staff provides all students with career counseling
and guidance on use of the mentoring program prior
to giving students access to the network.
When
you complete your AlumNet posting, you can choose
how you
would prefer to be contacted initially: by mail, phone
or email. If you prefer, you also can hide certain
information, such as your name or e-mail address.
After searching the database for a good match, a student
or alumnus may contact you with questions. It is up
to you what form future contact takes: email, phone
or in person.
Questions?
If you have any questions, call Melissa Samuels, director
of Alumni Programs, at (518) 442-3083 or e-mail msamuels@uamail.albany.edu.
