Want to give back?

Do you want to give back to your Sac State community and offer mentorship?

The Sacramento State Career Network is always looking for members of the Hornet Alumni Family who want to serve as a resource and inspiration to the current generation of Sacramento State students.

The Career Network offers alumni the ability to connect with students and recently graduated alumni looking for advice and seeking insight.

Users can reach out to you based on their desired career path and request advice on a large number of topics such as advice about transitioning from school to work or preparing for interviews.

Alumni are also given the opportunity to seek advice from mentors. So whether you are looking for a career change or have only recently become an alumni, the Career Network can be a helpful tool long after you’ve graduated.
