Stay Connected and Network with Fellow Alumni via AlumniConnect
When Saint Viator and Sacred Heart of Mary alumni/ae have been asked in recent surveys about what type of news and information they are most interested in, the leading response is always a way to connect with other alumni. Message received.
Starting November 9, alumni can register by accessing the link featured on saintviator.com/info-for/alumni. Each person can avail themselves of as many features and options as they choose, all at no cost.
Beginning in November, we will be launching the new AlumniConnect platform that will allow alumni to connect and network with one another digitally. The new tool will provide opportunities to post resumes and jobs, find and network with other alumni, form social or professional communities, find or become a mentor, and even hire other Saint Viator and Sacred Heart of Mary graduates.
“We want to do everything we can to leverage our network of alumni to help others find work,” said Alumni Relations Manager Krystal Harris. “The students who graduate from Saint Viator share a dedication to service, community and excellence, so helping employers find exceptional employees is just as important as helping our hardworking alumni find jobs they are passionate about.”
Share Your Experience with New College & Career Connection The college search process has evolved tremendously over the years. For students with heavy academic and extracurricular workloads, finding time to visit campuses can be difficult, especially if it is a first-time experience for their family. Pairing that need with the desire expressed by Saint Viator and Sacred Heart alumni to give back, the College & Career Connection has been formed. In this new program, alumni can register online, noting where they received their degree, both undergraduate and graduate or professional, and those entries are stored in a database that can be accessed by Saint Viator College Counselor Amy Herbert. If a current student would like to know more about a school they are considering, Herbert can provide them with the contact information of one or more alumni who attended that school. “It’s going to be a great way for students to learn more about a school than they might discover on a traditional campus visit,” Herbert said. “It should help answer questions families have

about the environment not only on a campus, but perhaps in a particular area of study.” Alumni Relations Manager Krystal Harris is excited about providing another opportunity for alumni to give back. “The College & Career Connection is a simple way for our graduates Amy Herbert to lend a hand to students facing a very big decision. As more alumni register, we will be able to provide direction on a broader range of schools.” To be a part of the College & Career Connection, simply register at bit.ly/3my5zFi. Doing so will not only allow you to explain what it’s like to be a Hoosier, a Spartan, a Redbird or Golden Eagle, but it will also demonstrate that you’re a Lion for life.
