HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana University Alumni Association has officially
launched an app for its Southeastern Connect platform, a network that helps members
connect, give back, explore career opportunities and get ahead, said Executive Director
of Alumni Relations Michelle Biggs. Instructions to download the app are available
on the Alumni Association website at southeastern.edu/alumni.
“Southeastern Connect is an online community that allows our alumni to connect
with each other and offer/find mentorships, internships, and jobs,” said Biggs. “Alumni
register on the site, set up a profile, and can indicate that they are willing to
help in a variety of ways.”
Southeastern alumni can elect to offer career advice, review resumes, conduct
mock interviews, be guest speakers, offer internships or offer one-on-one mentoring.
“By creating a free account, alumni, faculty, staff and upper class students
can unlock an online business directory featuring alumni owned businesses; a job board
highlighting jobs and internships available in your area; access to a calendar of
upcoming events and learning opportunities; and a diverse, growing community of members
looking to connect with other alumni,” Biggs explained.
The site offers users the ability to post and/or search for jobs and connect
with others in groups, such as alumni association chapters, fraternity/sorority alumni,
and industry specific groups. There is also an event feature, Biggs said, where alumni
can obtain information on chapter events and share photographs and updates on their
various activities.
“Help us grow Southeastern Connect into a dynamic social network for the entire
Lion Nation,” Biggs said. “Joining takes less time than making a cup of coffee, and
personalizing your account is easy. Download the app now and discover that all networks
are not the same.”
To join Southeastern Connect go to southeasternconnect.org. For more information, contact the Alumni Association at 985-549-2150.
