One of the most meaningful activities for our alumni is when they are able to share their time and talents to assist students in their education and careers. These experiences are rewarding for the alumni and immensely helpful for the student nearing graduation. Many students want to connect with other Aggies that are established in their careers to receive career advice and be introduced to others in their desired industry. This is particularly important for graduating seniors.

If you would like to mentor students, you can create a mentor profile on USU’s new Handshake platform, the software that recently replaced Career Aggie. Students are able to search for prospective alumni mentors based on location, industry, college, and a host of other variables. You can connect your LinkedIn profile for even faster registration. Consider signing up to be an alumni mentor. It’s a way to give back and stay connected with USU.

HOME IS WHERE YOUR AGGIE HEART IS

Homecoming Around the State & Beyond

For many, homecoming means returning to Cache Valley in the beautiful fall. But USU is more than a northern-centric school these days. USU extends to all parts of the state, through its many branch campuses and its distance education capabilities. In fact, some USU alumni have never stepped foot in Logan, but are overflowing with Aggie pride. If you’re of the neo-Aggie variety, there are homecoming activities for you too in Tooele, Price, and Blanding. And of course, if you’re nowhere near Utah this week, you can still participate in homecoming by watching the USU vs. Wyoming football game; the big game is being broadcast on Facebook this year so everyone can join.
