William & Mary Connect
Once a student has identified an alumnus with whom he or she wishes to meet, we support
a carefully planned visit.
These steps are recommended:
-Email or call selected alumnus and schedule a meeting place and time
-Student should have a clear understanding of what he or she hopes to gain
-Convey expectations to the alumnus with whom the meeting will take place
-Upon returning to campus, submit this form letting us know with whom you met, take-aways, a copy of your thank
you note/email, and a receipt
-Students will be given a $30.00 Visa card as reimbursement
-If the alumnus with whom a student meets generously picks up the tab, he or she is welcome to use the Visa card
for another meeting
-Students return to campus with a focused and renewed commitment to your career aspirations
-In preparation, you should research the company and come with an agenda
-Planning your questions is perhaps the most important task. They should be relevant, smart and informed.
