Career Development

Your Success Defines Our Success

Welcome to Alumni Career Development. Our goal is to provide opportunities for learning and professional development, over the course of your career trajectory.

Whether you're embarking on a job search, seeking a career change or hoping to maintain an edge in a challenging employment market, the alumni center has an extensive array of helpful — and free — resources for Quinnipiac alumni.

We are pleased to announce the development of a new suite of career services for alumni, with exciting programming launching over the next 12 months. There will also be several opportunities to give back to the alumni community through participation in programs and events.

 

Bobcat Connect

Unlock the Power of Your Community

Bobcat Connect is a new, easy-to-use platform for informal mentorship, networking and professional opportunities — designed exclusively for Quinnipiac alumni around the world. It’s a dedicated online network where you can choose to mentor and be mentored through a “flash meeting” or for a longer, sustained period of time.

In Bobcat Connect, alumni can match with others who share similar career fields, geographic locations or interests. Professionals of all levels are encouraged to seek guidance and share knowledge that will help facilitate career decision-making and create pathways to achieving professional goals.

Get connected and start leveraging your QU network today.
