Alumni Career Chats
Alumni Career Chats provide an opportunity for alumni to meet with current St. Olaf students to support their career exploration and practice speaking with professionals.
What are Alumni Career Chats?
- A brief 1-1 conversations between students and alumni, with a focus on sharing career insights and sparking connections between Oles.
- Alumni Career Chats will take place in-person at St. Olaf, hosted by the Piper Center for Vocation and Career in partnership with Alumni and Parent Relations.
- Who will you meet with? Students request meetings with alumni based on your brief bio, your professional role, major, or other details about your path or identity that resonate with their own interests.
- What will you discuss? You’ll discuss your career path, how you have navigated life after St. Olaf, share advice, and offer guidance. Students are prompted to come with questions. Students will vary a lot in terms of their comfort level with talking to an alum, asking questions, and in terms of their career exploration and goals – but this is great practice for them!
Fall 2025 Dates: Monday, November 3 through Friday, November 7.
Connections Programs
We’re bringing students to employers and cities in Minnesota and beyond. The Connections Program is designed to connect St. Olaf students with alumni, parents, and friends of the college who are affiliated with top employers of Ole graduates.
Do you work for an employer participating this year? OR do you work for an employer that hires Oles? Let us know here so we can include you! Please contact Bryan Shealer (shealer@stolaf.edu), Senior Associate Director of Employer and Alumni Relations.
