Seasoned Experts
Distinguished Alumni and friends of the Honors College share their career expertise with our undergraduates through two signature programs: Master Classes and Career Chats. These programs offer a small group opportunity for students to learn from seasoned professionals about trending industry topics, career journeys, and how to best prepare for life after college while at Rutgers.
Employers
Professionals also invite our students to employer info sessions and site visits, and share job and internship opportunities.
Academic Mentoring with Graduate Mentors
Graduate Mentors are full-time doctoral students representing a broad range of academic areas, who help Honors College students prepare for graduate school applications, learn how they have pursued their academic disciplines through research, internships, and further education. These insights and connections help HC students plan for developing professional and academic portfolios, continued education and certifications, as well as network in their respective fields.
LinkedIn
The Official Rutgers NB Honors College LinkedIn Group allows students and alumni to connect regarding opportunities and career exploration.
Online Professional Mentorship
The Rutgers Office of Career Exploration and Success (CES) provides the Student Alumni Career Connect website powered by PeopleGrove to help undergraduates connect with Rutgers alumni in career fields of their choosing. Alumni can designate "Honors College" as students they would prefer to connect with.
