How YOU CAN HELP Current Students with their Career Journey:
Become a FACT - Friday Alumni Connection Time - Mentor
We’re always looking for alumni to help with “FACT” – Friday Alumni Connection Time. The FACT program runs on Friday afternoons and is not your typical career panel. Students sign up for 20 to 30-minute time slots where they meet one-on-one with Hendrix alumni to ask career path questions to
discern how those experiences might be helpful with their own future career paths. Typically, the program runs between 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm, although times may be adjusted. Visits may be done virtually, which makes program participation a possibility for alumni living outside of
the Central Arkansas area. Alumni from all career paths are welcomed and encouraged to participate so that we may show our students the breadth of careers available to liberal arts graduates. Interested? Feel free to
e-mail us for more information.
Serve as an HCAN - Hendrix Career Advisor Network - Mentor
Hendrix Career Advisor Network - is a great way to connect with your alma mater simply by sharing your career expertise during two scheduled conversations with a current student. Each year, the Career Services Office invites Hendrix Alumni who are celebrating a milestone reunion year to connect with sophomores, juniors, and seniors seeking career advice. Best of all, if you are able to be on campus for alumni weekend, there will be an opportunity for you to meet other alumni and students who are participating in the program.
E-mail us to learn more about the HCAN program!
Provide Internship and Professional Experiences
With Hendrix’s commitment to engaged learning outside of the classroom, more students than ever are seeking internship experiences. Regardless of your location or office size, could you offer a meaningful career-oriented learning experience during the fall, spring, or summer either in person or virtually? While school year interns usually stay close to the Conway area, summer interns venture further out into the world. Additionally, the virtual option could be a possibility during any time of year! E-mail us a detailed description of the internship and we will post it for our students on our online job and internship board, HireHendrix. You may also submit the information via our Share An Opportunity Form or you may register for a free account on HireHendrix and post the information yourself.
Hire a Hendrix Student or Alumnus/a
If you have an available full-time or part-time opportunity at your workplace, we want to hear about it! E-mail us a detailed description of the internship and we will post it for our students on our online job and internship board, HireHendrix. You may also submit the information via our
Share An Opportunity Form or you may
