Connect with University of Richmond alumni for career networking
The UR Career Development Center has launched a new online career networking tool, the UR Career Network, to help students and alumni connect with each other. You can explore careers, get advice and connect for internships, graduate school insight, jobs and other opportunities. The UR Career Network allows you to search for alumni by industry field and by region. Once you’ve found connections that interest you, you can contact them directly. Alumni are continuing to sign up, so keep checking back for new contacts.
Using the service is easy
Current students already have access to the UR Career Network. Simply log in to SpiderConnect with your student ID and password. Once you’re logged in, you’ll see a “networking” tab at the top. If you have any questions, call (804) 289-8547.
