Connect with students on campus
We love it when alumni come back to campus to connect with current students and faculty.
Whether it’s as a guest speaker in a class, interviewing students during our fall or spring career fair, mentoring junior students, serving on a panel discussion for an event, or writing an encouraging postcard to a first-year student, you can connect with Mines students in meaningful ways.
Additionally, if your organization is hiring or open to hosting interns, use Handshake, our free online career portal, to recruit Mines students.
If you are interested in any of the above opportunities, don’t hesitate to contact us.
