Greetings 2018ers!<\/p>\n

Aren’t you glad that year is over? It seemed like it lasted a lifetime to us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But, now that the books are closed on 2018, it means that you all are really on to the rest of your lives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So today, on the 100th anniversary of Boston’s Great Molasses Flood (check it out, it’s a wild ride<\/a>), we’re here to share some ways that you can make the most out of this coming year and stay in touch with UVM and your classmates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are a ton of ways that you can stay in touch, but the easiest one is following your UVM favorites on social media.<\/strong> The UVM Alumni Association is on facebook<\/a>, and instagram<\/a> – but don’t stop there.<\/p>\n

Follow your favorite professors and academic departments<\/strong>– it might surprise you, but academic twitter is a hopping place! And it’s an easy way to keep in touch with a world that might feel far away from your day to day. Bonus, sometimes you learn cool stuff when you’re wasting time on your phone!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also get a jump start on career connections and mentoring opportunities by joining UVM Connect<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a network that the UVM Alumni Association has created just for UVM connected alumni and professionals, where they can post job openings<\/strong>, connect with potential employers<\/strong>, and find mentors<\/strong> in their field and location.<\/p>\n

It’s worth checking out – there might be a UVM alum down the street from you with your dream job – and they might be willing to meet for coffee and tell you how they got there!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyways, those are just a few ideas for how you all can keep in touch as the years keep coming (And they don’t stop coming).<\/p>\n

We’re excited for everything on the horizon, for us and for you. Hope your January is off to a fantastic start.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
