Help George Mason Students with Career Development
University Career Services and the Office of Alumni Affairs invite you to share information about your career and employer by joining Mason’s Career Network.
Through this online network, you can volunteer in any of the following ways:
1) answer students’ career questions (information interview)
2) offer a shadowing experience
3) offer to speak in a class or at a student organization meeting
To learn more about the network and to see examples of the kinds of questions students may ask, go to http://careers.gmu.edu/cn. It’s easy to join. At the website, select “join the network.” Complete and submit the membership form, and we will send a letter a few weeks later welcoming you into the network. You choose how you wish to be contacted and students and alumni must obtain a password through the University Career Services to access your name and contact information.
Sharing what you know about the work world is an invaluable gift to students who are trying to make career decisions. We hope you will join.
