Alumni who want to help current students reach their career goals need only look as far as the university's Extern Program. Co-sponsored by the Student Alumni Board and the offices of Alumni Relations and Career Services, the "shadow" program matches work ing alumni with students for a one- or two-week externship.
Alumni are needed to sponsor externships during Ohio University's winter break, which runs from late November through December. Alumni are responsible for arranging hands-on or observational experiences for students. Alumni are not expected to pay or provide housing for Extern Program students, but housing assistance is encouraged.
Alumni interested in participating in the program should contact the Alumni Association at (740) 59 3-4300 for more information. The deadline for responding is Sept. 8.
