Opportunities From: University of Denver

A committee that seeks to engage the alumni of the College of Arts, Humanities & Social sciences through opportunities to support current students. Alumni serve as mentors, provide career and professional development support and host workshops and webinars throughout the academic year. Committee members can choose to actively participate in a specific event or be available for 1:1 engagement opportunities. 

Who We Are: 

In partnership with and in support of CAHSS, the CAHSS Alumni Council offers its experience, expertise and energy to the leadership of the college to enrich the CAHSS communities. The Council will cultivate, inspire and collaborate with the community of CAHSS alumni, students, faculty and friends convey support and enthusiasm for the college and university, encourage professional growth and connection of CAHSS communities and celebrate the impact of alumni in our communities.

What We Do: 

We achieve this mission by fostering relationships, celebrating the community, and investing in ongoing personal and professional development, engaging alumni and leveraging the many opportunities the University has to make a difference in our communities. This volunteer-based organization is part of the University of Denver – College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. The CAHSS Alumni Council will support activities organized by the CAHSS Dean’s Office and University of Denver – Advancement. The council is not a legal entity; it does not create any right or duty of binding nature to be enforceable by a court of law. All functions of the council will be in alignment with and routed through the Dean’s office.

Council members are recruited year round and selected at the discretion of the Dean. Membership term is 4 years and requires participation in two on campus meetings per year and calls throughout the year. For more information, contact Erin Dietrich at erin.dietrich@du.edu. 

Undergraduate and graduate students highly value learning about the unique career pathways and experiences of young professionals and experienced alums - especially alumni from the liberal arts!

With that in mind, we have created an opportunity for alumni to share information about their career path, and give career tips for students, all from the comfort of home!

Simply click on the link, answer the most relevant questions, let us know where we can share your story and click submit. Submissions are turned into Blog posts, newsletter articles, social media posts and more.

Help students explore career paths from liberal arts degrees and learn from your experiences

The CAHSS First Generation College Student Program is aimed at supporting liberal arts students
who are the first in their families to attend college. Each year, between 15-20% of incoming CAHSS
students are first generation. The overall goal of the program is to address inequities in higher
education, particularly for those undergraduates who enter college without the same access to
professional networks and social capital as their peers. Students involved in the program will be
able to discuss any concerns or challenges they face as first-generation college students pursuing a
liberal arts education, while gaining support, direction, and connectivity from a team of mentors.
More specifically, the program will support first-gen students in their engagement with the liberal
arts, experiential opportunities, and career trajectories. We hope to encourage first-generation
faculty, student, and alumni interaction outside of the classroom through meaningful relationships
that, in the end, have the potential to improve a sense of belonging for both first-gen students and
first-gen faculty and community members connected to DU.

The DU Clarion has served as the official student newspaper of the University of Denver since 1899. 

The Clarion welcomes former Clarion writers and staff to "come back to campus" to share their experience and expertise with current students of the newspaper. 

Join the students either virtually or in person for opportunities to connect, share stories, and share possible career connections.
