Alumni Shadowing
"I would definitely recommend this to a friend. I think that it is a great way to go about educating yourself on a specific career." "This is a great way to meet people and get used to the real life work experience. You find out a lot of things." "I learned not only about the job but how to be professional and contact someone in a professional manner." "I can't rely on myself to research every career I'm interested in, and shadowing put a face and concrete experience to this job." "Getting exposure to a potential career choice is crucial to making an educated decision on if it is right for you." "It was great for networking. I was introduced to a lot of SCU grads who gave me good tips. [My alum] was willing to refer me to anyone else who might help."
