HOW TO APPLY
To be considered, complete both steps below by Sunday, December 1, 2025 at 11:59 PM:
- Submit your approved* résumé to this WesLink posting on Handshake.
- Complete the WesLink Application Form, selecting at least 3 (and up to 10) alumni you’d like to meet with for a virtual informational conversation.
SELECTION & PROGRAM EXPECTATIONS
Applications with fewer than 3 alumni selections will not be considered. While we’ll do our best to match you with at least one of the alums you select in the application, matches are not guaranteed.
The true value of WesLink lies not just in who you meet, but in the experience itself—practicing networking, exploring career paths, and learning how to talk about yourself with confidence. Every conversation is a chance to grow personally and professionally, so approach each one with curiosity and an open mind.
If accepted, you’re expected to follow through on all scheduled meetings, regardless of who you’re matched with. Professional communication and reliability are key to making the most of this experience.

*RESUME APPROVAL
