We need you to put the Carlson School on your agenda. Alumni volunteers not only support students and programs at Carlson, but they receive benefits as well. Volunteers build their personal and professional networks, add valuable experience to their resumes, and continue the process of lifelong learning.

CHRLS Alumni Mentoring Program

By matching graduate students with alumni and HR practitioners from the community, the mentorship program provides students with opportunities to learn from professionals, build connections with the HR community, and plan successful careers. The program also forms stronger links between alumni, the HR community, students, and the Center for Human Resources and Labor Studies. Mentors typically meet with students monthly throughout the program, and all participants are invited to attend additional events such as HR Tomorrow and Professional Development Workshops sponsored by the CHRLS Alumni Association. To participate in this program, please contact the program by completing the volunteer form.

Alumni Career Network

The Alumni Career Network is an opportunity for Carlson alumni and current students to build their professional networks, serving as career-related resources for one another. Make your business information available to current Carlson School students and fellow alumni by joining the Alumni Career Network by emailing carlsonalumni@umn.edu.

Guest Speaking

Each semester, over 400 alumni and other industry leaders are brought into classrooms at the Carlson School. Speakers share real-world applications of the theories and practices students learn in their textbooks and from faculty. Time commitment varies; speakers are needed for both day and evening classes and events. Sign up to volunteer here.
