LinkedIn Alumni Network
The University of Minnesota Learning Abroad Center Alumni Network on LinkedIn is for all graduates who studied abroad during their time at the U. Join the Alumni Network to get updates on reunions, specific programs, the current state of study abroad, and more.
Also, be sure your international experience is listed on your resumé and under the Education section of your LinkedIn profile! Consider including the skills you may have developed during your time abroad: creative problem-solving, adaptability, communication, and interpersonal skills, to name a few.
Share Your Expertise
As study abroad alumni, you are a valuable resource of knowledge and experience for current UofM students who have also studied abroad. Alumni are in an excellent position to provide students with career advice based on their professional experiences. Your credibility as having made the transition from the University of Minnesota to the professional working world is a strong complement to the career programming we provide students. If you are interested in sharing about how your international experience has impacted your career, contact us at [email protected].
There & Back E-News
All study abroad alumni should be receiving There & Back, our twice-yearly e-newsletter for past participants of University of Minnesota study abroad programs. If you aren't receiving it, email us at [email protected].
Give the Gift of Study Abroad
As a study abroad alum, you know the impact an international experience can have on a student’s future. We want to make it possible for more students to have that experience, but unfortunately our current pool of funding only allows us to provide scholarships to 5% of the students who apply. Your gift will help the next generation of students to discover themselves, their potential, and the world. Any amount helps! Contribute to the Learning Abroad Scholarship Fund today.
To discuss other opportunities to support study abroad—such as creating your own scholarship or leaving a gift in your estate plan—contact Molly Portz at [email protected].
