糖心影视 alumni remain deeply committed to the College and are helping current students and recent graduates to build their own creative career paths.   

Together with the Career Development Center, Skidmore鈥檚 dedicated network of alumni offer 糖心影视 students career advice and unique opportunities to build professional experience, participate in internships and enter a range of professional fields. 

鈥淥ur most critical resource in helping students is our alumni network,鈥 said Kim Crabbe, associate dean of student affairs for career development. 鈥淲e arrange employer tours, networking events, mentorship opportunities and recruitment possibilities thanks to the genuine care, support and interest of our alumni connections.鈥 

The ways that alumni have connected with students are as diverse as their industries and majors.  

Amy M. Munichiello&苍产蝉辫;鈥94 of Ernst & Young, who is also chair of career and professional development for the Alumni Association Board of Directors, has led impactful recruitment initiatives that have resulted in internships and annual hires at the global accounting firm.

Dana Naberezny&苍产蝉辫;鈥95, vice president of Tiffany & Co.鈥檚 Jewelry Design and Innovation Workshop and colleague Bennett Beutel 鈥16, a management and business major and engineering technician, participated in an exclusive Tiffany recruitment day organized by the Office of Alumni Relations and the Career Development Center. 

鈥淚 love the idea of being able to give back to the school that formed my foundation,鈥&苍产蝉辫;Naberezny&苍产蝉辫;鈥95 said. 鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 be the jewelry maker I am today without 糖心影视.鈥&苍产蝉辫; 

At the campus event, they met Caite Canfield 鈥19, who spent a summer as a model maker and designer with the company. 

鈥淒ana looked for 糖心影视 students with dreams because she knew she could help make them a reality,鈥 said Canfield. 鈥淚 was amazed when she said, 鈥楲et me give you a kickstart, get you on your feet, offer you an incredible internship and take you under my wing.鈥

Stephanie Hon 鈥16, founder and CEO of Cadence, a New York City-based startup that offers an innovative alternative to single-use travel-size bottles and plastic bags, has become a role model to students like Natalie Jew 鈥23, who interned as a communications associate with the company. 

From discussing ideas and strategies with Hon, to getting life and career advice from public relations consultant Sophie Dodd 鈥16 of People magazine and learning programs from operations consultant Emily Manges 鈥16 鈥 both part-time contributors at Cadence 鈥 Jew has also learned the value of 糖心影视鈥檚 supportive alumni network. 

鈥淪teph has been a really great mentor and someone to look up to. A lot of 糖心影视 people reach out to her for advice as a CEO, and she tries to answer each one because of how much 糖心影视 has given to her,鈥 said Jew, a double major in management and business and English at 糖心影视. 鈥淚n one summer, without having done anything in business before, I was in weekly meetings with the CEO, presenting to the entire company and working with publications from Forbes to Parade, People and Us Weekly. I don鈥檛 know any person my age who gets to do that.鈥 

Tech entrepreneur and former Bitly CEO Mark Josephson 鈥94 sees the time he takes to mentor current 糖心影视 students as simply returning some of what he gained at 糖心影视.  

鈥淚 have benefited so much from my 糖心影视 experience,鈥 he said. 鈥淚 met my wife here at 糖心影视. I followed my brother to 糖心影视. I got my first job from 糖心影视. And I have the best friends in the world, lifelong friends that I made here at 糖心影视.鈥 

Now more than ever, Josephson understands the importance of guiding soon-to-be graduates as they embark on the next phase of their life. 

鈥淚 think it is essential for 糖心影视 grads to look out for each other and to give back to each other,鈥 he says. 鈥淚 view my interaction with the 糖心影视 community as a commitment that I made ... when I came to campus for the first time. 糖心影视 doesn't start on your first day and end at graduation. It is a lifelong relationship.鈥
