How The Network Can Benefit You!
The Alumni Industry Engagement Network was developed to give students the opportunity to engage with successful UW alumni in order to provide:
1. Community Building – Ensure undergraduates become connected with the Department, faculty, and alumni/industry from the beginning of their time on campus.
2. Career Awareness – Ensure students are familiar with and remain up-to-date on opportunities
in agribusiness and other appropriate career fields of their major.
3. On-campus Success – Ensure students are gaining the skills/characteristics while
on campus that they need to compete in the job market after graduation.
4. Post-graduation Success – Ensure students have exposure to: i) the skills/qualities
in demand across the agricultural supply chain, ii) job search skills, iii) application
and interview skills, and iv) a network of alumni and industry mentors.
