Alumni

The LIM College Alumni Association provides an exclusive online platform where LIM graduates can find and connect with each other. Features includes video chat and private messaging, along with group messaging based on your professional area. 

We also hold in-person and virtual industry networking events throughout the year.

Ready to make a career transition? Need some advice on securing your next role? 

LIM is proud to offer all of our alums free lifetime career services. With your continued access to Handshake, LIM’s online job search platform, you can search open positions, connect with employers, and sign up for virtual events. 

You can also book an appointment to meet with one of our Career Coaches. Get your resume and LinkedIn profile reviewed, brush up on your interview skills, and let us help you make connections for informational interviews.

Get the skills and knowledge to advance in your current position or pivot into a new role. Earn a master's degree from LIM’s Marcuse School of Graduate Studies. 

Our one-year online or on-campus graduate programs include the industry knowledge, real-world experience, and community you experienced as an LIM undergrad, but in a format designed for busy professionals.

All LIM undergraduate alums receive a half-tuition (up to $16,125) scholarship when they enroll in one of our online or on-campus graduate programs.

Pay it forward by mentoring current students. Provide career advice, share information about your own professional path and job responsibilities, and help the next generation find their way from student to success. 

You can serve as a mentor for a First-Year Experience class or get matched with a student in our Honors Program for a one-on-one mentorship.

Come back to campus to share your career story and LIM experience. 

Whether it’s at a Career Panel, Admissions Open House, or New Student Orientation, students and their families want to hear from you!

We love to tell our graduates' stories!

Whether it’s through an Instagram takeover, video, or a Q&A on our website, let us tell the world about your new business, latest career move, or recent achievement.
