PLC is excited to launch the Alumni Match Program (PLC AMP). Through our vision of creating an inclusive and supporting PLC community, we are facilitating the cultivation of relationships between current students experienced alumni and board members.For our alumni, the program creates a direct pathway to re-engage and give back to PLC, while also guiding the next generation of innovative thinkers and leaders through advice and professional connections.
The Alumni Match Program strives to:
- Create professional, experienced connections and networks for junior and senior PLC students when they are preparing for graduation and after.
- Provide support and guidance for students' professional development and connect them to people and/or opportunities you may be aware of.
- Cultivate a stronger intergenerational PLC community by linking current PLCers to alumni and board members who are champions in their respective fields.
- Deepen the connection between alumni and current students.
Though students have opted into this program, they might be intimidated or shy and won’t initiate contact. We would love it if you could help them with this, connect with them, and coach them on reaching out to others. Ultimately, we hope you can simply provide your insight, opinions, advice, applicable connections, and any opportunities that you may have to help them leave CU and PLC successfully.
These are simple connections without any of the heavy obligations involved in mentoring or professional coaching. Please participate, especially if you have a unique career and life circumstances. While you will likely be matched, depending on student numbers, you may not be matched each semester or academic year. However, your willingness to be matched and contacted is much appreciated.
How it Works: The Match
Every alum, board member, and PLC student will “opt-in” to the program, so eager participation is expected. The Catalyst team on student staff will match students and alumni (up to three matches) with similar career interests and/or areas of expertise. You will be notified of your student matches (name, email, phone) by mid-February.
