Alumni Involvement
Lyon College alumni are very important to the Career Development program. All of our services are available to alumni as well as current students, so we invite you to explore the student resources link and let us know how we can help you on your career journey. We also hope that alumni will take an active role in helping current students succeed in reaching their career goals. We invite alumni to visit us at the Career Center, located on the lower level of Edwards Commons. We also invite alumni to call us at (870) 307-7227 or e-mail us at careercenter@lyon.edu.
There are many ways that you can stay involved:
College Central Network is our new career services management system. It provides a way for Lyon students and alumni to create a personal employment profile, and upload resume, portfolio, writing samples and other documents. It provides jobs and internship opportunities from dozens of national job boards.
Alumni may participate as both job seekers and as employers!
