WesGlobal Virtual Alumni Networking Program

Hear directly from alumni who’ve navigated international student questions like work authorization, building U.S. experience, and translating a liberal arts education into career options. You’ll explore potential paths, practice professional communication, and make connections to help guide your next steps.
PROGRAM DETAILS
Selected students will coordinate directly with alumni to schedule a 30–60 minute phone or video conversation at a mutually convenient time between January 2–23, 2026.
WesGlobal is open to international students of all class years and majors—no prior experience required.

PROGRAM EXPECTATIONS
The true value of WesGlobal 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.
