EDINBORO ALUMNI LEND A HELPING HAND TO NEW GRADUATES

FOLLOWING A COLOSSAL SURGE IN UNEMPLOYMENT FUELED BY COVID-19, THE CLASS OF 2020 FACES ONE OF THE TOUGHEST JOB MARKETS IN RECENT HISTORY. MORE THAN 20 MILLION AMERICANS LOST THEIR JOBS IN APRIL ALONE.

In an effort to help Edinboro’s newest alumni navigate an increasingly virtual job market, the University’s Center for Career Development and Experiential Learning and the Office of Alumni Engagement have teamed up to connect recent Edinboro graduates with successful alumni who can provide advice, networking, resume reviews and more.

The “Ready to Work” and “Ready to Help” campaigns provide new graduates with an expanded social network and showcase alumni who are giving back to their alma mater during a global pandemic.

A number of recent graduates and working professionals have already been featured on the Edinboro University LinkedIn and Twitter pages. If you are interested in offering mentorship to a member of the class of 2020 as they start their career, contact the Center for Career Development and Experiential Learning at careerdevelopment@edinboro.edu or 814-732-2781
