Employer Relations and Alumni Engagement

The Hale Center’s Employer Relations team provides students with a variety of employer information sessions, recruiting opportunities, visits by graduate school representatives, and networking with alumni. Many employers specifically target Connecticut College and post both job and internship opportunities for our students. There are also off-campus (or remote) recruiting consortia for seniors.

Additionally, Employer Relations hosts multiple Career Exploration Weeks each semester, offering many informational events, representing a wide range of career fields. The team continuously works to cultivate ongoing relationships with employers and potential internship sponsors to help students expand their understanding of how to put their liberal arts education into action.  

The Hale Center works closely with the Office of Advancement and Alumni Engagement to identify alumni who will participate in Camel Connected programming. Programs such as Career Launch, providing students a structured yet informal chance to network with alumni and parents during fall weekend; Career Conversations, connecting alumni and students from all class years through weekly one-on-one conversations; and a January Job Shadow, allowing students to make on-site visits to alumni at their places of work.
