What do careers in sports, healthcare, technology, the arts, law, and public service have in common? K alumni working in all of them are ready to talk with you!

During KConnect Week, December 1–3, Kalamazoo College students can connect with alumni across the country through Hornet Huddles, informal, 20-minute Zoom conversations about careers, experiences, and life after K. Whether you’re exploring a particular career, wondering what you can do with your major, or have absolutely no idea what’s next, there’s a Huddle for you. These aren’t job interviews, and you don’t need to prepare a formal introduction or have your future figured out. Just bring your curiosity and a few questions!

Who Can You Meet?

Nearly 30 K alumni are ready to connect, including professionals with experience at the Minnesota Twins, Henry Ford Health, the U.S. Department of State, Johnson & Johnson, Progressive Turnout Project, and The Posse Foundation. You’ll find alumni working in business, education, law, government, technology, the arts, healthcare, and more. Huddles are open to students of all majors and class years.
