Elizabethtown College has created a new way for students to tap into the Blue Jay alumni network through a newly launched digital platform, EtownConnect. Through a partnership between the Office of Career Services and the Elizabethtown College Alumni Association, EtownConnect was established to help students search out alumni in their intended career field and connect with them virtually for insight into their industry.
The platform was introduced to Etown alumni earlier this summer as a way to give back to the College through a willingness to share their time and talents with the next generation of young professionals. Alumni can fill out a profile that includes information related to their time at Etown like graduation year and major as well as career information including job title, career category, location, and employment status.
“In computer science vs engineering, the College has a terrific blend of important ingredients—an alumni base with members who are very loyal and engaged as well as successful in their careers and lives,” said Mark Clapper, Executive Director of College Engagement. “Through this system, students now have the ability to easily contact these members of our Blue Jay Alumni family whenever they choose. Doing so will enable them to broaden their professional networks and gain access to potential future opportunities.”
