Executives in Residence
Our Executives in Residence program offers our students a one-of-a-kind opportunity to interact with leaders from the workforce who provide unique insights into the working world. Our Executives provide you with expert knowledge on cover letter and resume advice, interview skills, networking skills, and transitioning to the professional workforce.
Are you a leading professional in the workforce looking to give back to upcoming graduates?
Your ability to work directly with our students and share your knowledge of the world of work and expectations of employers would bring immense value to their career-ready skills and boost their confidence in the interviewing process.
If you are interested in becoming one of our Executives in Residence, please contact the Career Connection Center at careerconnection@stevenson.edu. We ask for a time commitment of three to four hours per week based on your schedule.
