    VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

    Career Connections Contact
    Career Connections is the UW Alumni Association's online database of alumni career contacts across the country, available exclusively to UWAA members and students. Career Connections contacts offer information about their field and networking referrals to students exploring career directions and to alumni who are searching for a job or contemplating a career transition. Contacts are not expected to provide leads for specific jobs or internships. In addition, contacts can set limits on the number of times their information is accessed online. Becoming a contact is a rewarding way to stay connected and make a difference in the lives of UW alumni and students.
