iCAN: Alumni Career Advisory Network

We encourage and support career networking between our students and alumni. At Colgate, we are fortunate to have alumni who are generous with their time, energy, and expertise. Through requiring a process of student eligibility we hope to maintain the strength of our career network by ensuring that all students who engage alumni in career conversations do so with appropriate etiquette and confidence in their approach.
