Parents as partners
Recruit and hire WashU students
The Center for Career Engagement supports students in every stage of their career search. Alumni, families and friends can partner with the center by creating or promoting internships, co-ops or full-time positions for WashU students within their own organizations and businesses. If your company is interested in recruiting or hiring our talented students, job and/or internship opportunities can be posted in Handshake, which is the career management and recruiting platform for WashU. Center for Career Engagement staff members are available to partner with your human resources or talent acquisition team to help create a customized recruiting plan.
Connect with WashU networks
There are WashU networks across the U.S. and around the world. Find a network to connect with alumni, parents and friends who share a love for the university—as well as interests, professions, cultures and ZIP codes.
Represent WashU at college fairs
Encourage future students to choose WashU by staffing college fairs in your community alongside fellow parents and alumni.
