Campbell Hall Alumni Board launches the Viking Career Connection
The Campbell Hall Alumni Board is proud to announce the Viking Career Connection which seeks to provide Campbell Hall graduates with job and internship opportunities as well as career guidance from our very own alumni network, CH families, and friends of the community.
“With the onset of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, the Alumni Board thought a lot about the Campbell Hall Class of 2016 who would be graduating from college into a very uncertain world,” says Aubrey Rakoski Advancement Associate Director, Alumni Relations. “We felt this was the perfect time to roll out this important networking opportunity as CH alumni will need as much support as possible to navigate what is already a challenging time.”
Leveraging the vast network of more than 3,700 alumni worldwide, the CH Alumni Board hopes to expand Campbell Hall’s reach through these professional and personal connections. As CH Alumni Board member Michelle Knutson ’12 says: “Networking is hard enough - especially with strangers (and amid a pandemic at that!). What can alleviate some of the difficulty is starting with your home base. Campbell Hall, with its current students, recent graduates, and extensive reach of alumni has created a massive community that is willing to help if only we were all connected. Viking Career Connection is here to make that happen.”
“This feels like a natural extension for Campbell Hall,” says Alumni Board member and Professional Network Committee Chair Josh Smith ’94. “Fellow alumni who are offering professional opportunities know the quality education that CH provides its students and know that CH alumni they place in internship or work opportunities will work hard and get the job done.”
The CH Alumni Board is continuing to collect professional information from community members so that they can match interests of those alumni seeking mentorships, jobs, or advice with those willing to help. Michelle adds, “It can also be used in the reverse - as a lead system if you yourself are looking to hire CH grads.”
The Viking Career Connection illustrates the clear bonds shared by CH alumni. Michelle notes: “Josh and I never crossed paths as students at Campbell Hall but now are in the same profession - we are both real estate agents in Los Angeles. We quickly bonded over that and, of course, always have Campbell Hall in common. It’s easy to see the invisible fabric that weaves all of us alumni together - without ever sharing a classroom, playing on a sports team together, or sharing the theater stage, we still have all lived a similarly parallel life that we can each relate to.”
Josh echoes this sentiment about their shared alma mater. “Campbell Hall is a second family to us all and will be with you the rest of your life,” he notes. “This community goes beyond friendships -- supporting you from your first day of school to graduation and throughout your entire career.”
Whether you can offer career advice, a full-time job, short-term project, or internship opportunity, provide an introduction, or answer a question, or if you are seeking career help, simply fill out the Viking Career Connection survey.
