Volunteer Opportunities

Alumni volunteers are a vital part of our life at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon. You can continue to strengthen your alma mater by volunteering to serve the school in a variety of capacities. Some important areas are:

• Alumni Mentors - The Career Opportunities Center (COC) runs a mentor program each year matching new graduate business students with alumni. The intent of the program is to connect students with more seasoned professionals who can serve as a sounding board on career choices. Much of the interaction, due to the location of alumni, is via the Internet, however, the COC encourages students to speak with their mentors by phone and visit mentors in their city or place of employment.
• The Career Opportunities Center always needs alumni to assist current students with mock interviews and reviewing resumes.
• Management Game Board of Directors – Over 200 alumni volunteer each year to serve on the Board of Directors for Management Game teams. They serve an integral part and a critical facet of the simulation environment and hold three meetings with the Game Teams. Become a Management Game Board Member.
• Helping students and alumni with career workshops and serving as speakers on alumni panels and giving guest lectures to classes and student clubs.
• Host student visits to your company and take the lead in arranging for your company to recruit for summer interns and new hires on campus. Over 75% of our recruiters are alumni and they are the single greatest reason for our placement success at the Tepper School of Business.
• Helping us to recruit the top students: Volunteer with the Admissions Office to assist at MBA recruiting fair in your region.
• Alumni Regional Chapter Leadership Teams; Help us organize professional and social events in your region to strengthen our alumni community.
• Joining your class Reunion Planning or Reunion Giving Committee, or become your class correspondent.
