Help Our Students! Become a Clark School Alumni Advocate

The Clark School Alumni Advocates are a group of alumni from various engineering majors and organizations who want to share their professional experience and resources with the next generation of Terp Engineers. If you are interested in returning to campus to share your professional experience, hosting on-site tours at your company, serving as a mentor, or joining the engineering alumni chapter board, then we want to hear from you.
 
As an In-Class Speaker or Presenter, alumni will strengthen ties between future students, current students and recent graduates. Our alumni provide a better understanding of the field of engineering by sharing their professional experience when visiting high schools, participating in career day events, providing an overview to students in their field of study, and serving as keynote speakers at banquets or other special events.   
 
On-Site Tours coordinated by our Alumni Advocates will provide a better understanding of the field of engineering by sharing their professional experience within their current workplace environment.
 
The Engineering Alumni Chapter Board will launch a mentor program to partner seasoned engineering alumni with alumni new to the private sector, public sector, and academia (0-10 years after graduation). Mentoring offers a way to connect with potential employers and it is the Board’s strong belief that this engineering alumni association sponsored mentoring program will not only foster development for recent graduates, but will also increase the awareness of the engineering alumni chapter and result in increased alumni membership.
