We'll help you navigate.

Support Current Students

Young alumni have many opportunities to support Career Connection at Ohio Wesleyan. Students can connect with young alumni in unique ways that they may not be able to connect with older alumni. There are more shared student experiences, more of a peer-to-peer connection, and who knows? You can learn as much from current OWU students as the students learn from you!

Where are the areas you can best support current students?

Join the Alumni Partners program.

Partner with Career Connection to speak to students on a panel, webinar, or at another event. Share your experience from your unique perspective as a young professional.

Host a student as an extern or intern.
