Share the Wealth

As you know, the value of your degree grows at the pace of our success. When you help current students, you increase your worth, while helping others along the same path you've chosen. There are a variety of opportunities to give back to the School of Business. One way is through a financial donation.

Alumni have shared other riches with us, including time, experience, perspective and contacts. The cornerstone of our programs is practical experience. Successful grads like you offer the real world knowledge of the business world, having “been there and done that.”

"Overall I have about 400 students doing similar activities (across the country). Working with UAlbany is the easiest among the campuses I work with. It's been a great experience."- Craig Devoe, Account Executive, Apple, MBA, class of 2005

Here are ways you can be involved in our attainment of educational excellence:

• Post a job on the School of Business Job Board . It's a free electronic job and internship posting system for U Albany School of Business undergrads and grad students and alumni. Employers can search by major, years of experience or other criteria.

• Hire a grad. See Job Board , above, or contact the Office of Career Services .

• Offer an internship/ job shadowing/ externship or field project with your company. Students are motivated hard workers who are completing a rigorous curriculum and can offer a fresh perspective and new ideas.

• Mentor a student. We prefer U Albany School of Business alums, since you are personally familiar with our programs and level of academic achievement.

• Assist students in preparing for a job search through in resume reviews, cover letter critiques, and conducting mock interviews.

• Enable contacts between the School of Business Career Services Office and your human resource department.

• Share your expertise through lunchtime and panel discussions, and other guest speaking engagements.
