Affiliate Program Group (APG) Update Alumni shared their knowledge and experiences with current students in the “Alumni in the Classroom” events throughout the spring and fall semesters, and now the CSD APG is organizing an “Alumni in the Classroom” event for spring 2014. Alumni who are interested in speaking to a class should contact Doris Golebiewski at dorisg216@gmail.com or csdapg@gmail.com.
The APG continues to build and strengthen relationships with current students, alumni, and faculty and staff members through Facebook, LinkedIn, and email communications. The APG recently established a CSD APG email address, csdapg@gmail.com. The APG also is in the process of updating the CSD APG website to make it more user-friendly.
Every semester, the CSD APG holds networking events for undergraduate and graduate students. These twohour events provide the opportunity for students to learn about “real-world” experiences as well as get answers to any and all types of questions. It also allows the students to provide feedback about how alumni can help them during their undergraduate and graduate careers.
CSD alumni gathered at the Pennsylvania SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association’s annual convention in Harrisburg, PA, in April. In addition, alumni gathered for the HHD Alumni Tailgate, which took place on October 12 during Homecoming 2013. The Social/ Professional Committee is currently organizing events in your area… so stay tuned!
The CSD APG currently is coordinating an APGdriven mentoring program for both undergraduate and graduate students. To learn about the College of Health and Human Development’s Mentoring Program and/or to become a mentor to a CSD undergraduate student, visit www.hhd.psu.edu/alumni/careers.
