Denison Career Network
You'll be amazed at how supportive Denison alumni are in sharing their advice and expertise! The Denison University Career Network is a resource of alumni that helps students and other alumni with career related information and advice. Networking information can be exchanged regarding careers, educational backgrounds, organizations, and other career interests.
How Denison Career Network works:
- Alumni who would like to share their experience and advice can log in to www.denison.edu/careernetwork using the "D number" that appears above their name on the Denison Magazine mailing label.
- Create a profile which includes information such as professional achievements, interests, and activities.
- Once your profile is completed, you will be able to network with alumni and current students.
HOW TO CONTACT ALUMNI
Students can contact alumni by sending a letter or emailing them if email is available. You won't see the alum's email address (there is a pop us window where you can type in the message) and submit the email to the alum. If the alum responds via email back to you, only then will you see the alum's email address. This is called a blind email system.
If a Business Phone Number is listed, you may call and leave a brief, professional, message introducing yourself and the reason you are calling the alum.
Do not call alums repeatedly or weekly. If the alum wishes to return your phone call, they will!
SUGGESTED QUESTIONS TO ASK ALUMNI

What do you like and dislike about your work?

We received feedback in response to our mailing last year that the information
would be easier for career centers to distribute if it were provided electronically.
For that reason, we would like to provide you with a link to our website:

Please feel free to cut and paste any material from our website into an e-mail
blast to your students/alumni, send to your psychology department chair, or to
place the material into your searchable job database. Unfortunately, as a small
not-profit organization, we do not have the resources to manually enter the
information into individual college databases, and cannot attend any career
fairs or on-campus interviews. Applications for the position will be reviewed

Greetings Senior,
Ahhh…Thanksgiving Break: relaxation, turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie… and the
dreaded question from everyone in your family: So, what are you going to do
after you graduate??
Unsure how to answer that? Be honest, but don't take the easy way out and say
'I have no idea.' Chances are you have an idea, but are not sure how to refine,
articulate and pursue your idea.
Normally family members and friends ask because they are concerned and want to
help. Put them to work for you by sharing your ideas and see what advice they
have to offer and if they know someone who could also give you some additional
advice and insight. They can be great resources for you and as always, Career
Services is here to help you refine and develop your strategy. Enjoy your
break!

Subject: Progressive Campaign Job Opportunities Nationwide
We made history last fall. Young people turned out in record numbers to
vote and to volunteer and to make the change that we believe in. Now we
have to take our place in history, alongside President Obama and the
expanded majorities in the House and Senate. Hope is only the
beginning; it's time to work for the change we need.
It is critical that we continue to focus on issues of civil liberties,
women's rights, and poverty and hold the candidates we have worked to
elect accountable to the promises they made during their campaigns.
Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. has joined forces with the American Civil
Liberties Union, Amnesty International, and Save the Children allowing
us to actively work towards ensuring a more progressive future and
holding our officials accountable. There is no better time or place to
get involved and help create the new generation that will take this
country in a more progressive direction.
Students who are interested should apply directly to:

Announcement of AmericorpsVISTA openings:
Over the last six months, representatives of the service-learning and
community access programs at Central Ohio Technical College (COTC),
Denison, and the Ohio State University at Newark (OSUN) have worked
with a local college access program, A CALL TO COLLEGE (ACTC), to lay
the groundwork for an innovative consortium to raise college awareness,
readiness, and attendance among young people in Newark, Ohio. Ohio
Campus Compact (OCC) has granted this initiative three AmericorpsVISTA
positions. Our vision is that the VISTAs for the three schools will
work as a team, with ACTC's guidance, to develop and implement college
access activities that utilize and integrate the resources of their
respective institutions: service-learning classes, student
organizations, student interns, and faculty support. This consortium,
representing the spectrum of higher education institutional types, has
unusual potential to develop, implement and assess imaginative programs
to address one of the most pressing social issues of our times: low
rates of participation in higher education among low-income, first
generation-college youth. The VISTAs will work with children and
teachers in the Newark City School District, with students and faculty
from the three colleges, and with college access professionals at ACTC.
To read the three job descriptions, learn more about necessary
qualifications, and view details about salary/benefits, please visit
the following website and look for the job listings under COTC, Denison
and OSUN: http://www.ohiocampuscompact.org/page.cfm?ID=10
Interested applicants are encouraged to apply by March 23 for full
consideration. The goal is to fill the positions by early April.
