Office of Career Services

Alumni can help link students with internship, job shadowing and employment opportunities through the Office of Career Services.

Alleghenians can serve as...

  1. Career Resource Volunteers: They make themselves available to answer student questions about their career fields via phone, e-mail or mail. Questions are informational only.
  2. Internship Surveyors: These volunteers obtain names of alumni and friends who are willing to sponsor students for summer internships.
  3. Experiential Learning Term (E. L. Term) Internship sponsors: These volunteers host student interns for a 3-week internship that takes place from mid-May to early June. The internships are located in Boston, New York City and Washington D. C. Housing is provided by Allegheny through arrangements with regional colleges.
  4. Allegheny-Specific Internship sponsors: These alumni hire Allegheny students for summer-long internships at their work sites. In some cases, housing is provided by the College, such as through the new Allegheny in D.C. initiative. In other cases, students can apply for college funding to help defray the cost of housing.
