The New Alumni Advisor Network
The Alumni Advisor Network allows students and graduates to connect with Chicago-Kent alumni to learn about specific practice areas, gain information regarding the legal market and obtain helpful tips if relocating to another geographic area. Your willingness to utilize your experiences and expertise for the benefit of students and other alumni via this network is very much appreciated.
At this time, we are working with the Alumni Office to update the Alumni Advisor Network, and we are asking Alumni to serve as Career Advisors in a volunteer role. The Alumni Advisor Network is now a part of the newly renovated Alumni Online Community, a central location for alumni of Chicago-Kent.
To volunteer, you must be an active member of the Alumni Online Community (http://alumni.kentlaw.edu):
- If you are already a member, just click on “My Account” and choose the Career Advising tab to indicate your interest.
- If you haven’t logged into the Community yet, please click here to sign up. Upon logging in, you’ll be prompted to update your profile as well as indicate your interest in serving as a Career Advisor.
Please update you information so profiles are accurate for those searching for an Alumni Advisor. Only individuals who are part of the Chicago-Kent Community (students, alumni, faculty and staff) are allowed into the Alumni Online Community to view this information.
Should you have any questions or comments about the Career Advising program, or other volunteer opportunities, please do not hesitate to contact Jeanne Kraft, Assistant Dean of Career Services, at jkraft@kentlaw.edu.
