Your experience matters. The St. Edward’s University Career Network fosters connections between current St. Edward’s students and professionals like you. 

As a Career Network Advisor, you will guide students or fellow alumni by: sharing professional expertise and advice, providing personal experiences and insight, helping them consider different career options, and highlighting professional skills you have found most useful. Advisors also encourage students to network with other professionals and educate them on available networking options.
