Alumni

As Buena Vista University alumni, you are welcome to utilize and enjoy the services, programs and events provided through the Office of Career Services as you pursue continued professional success. These services include:

Job Search Services
CCN is here! BVU Career Services is pleased to announce a new partnership with College Central Network to provide comprehensive web-based job search services to our students and alumni.

Employers who want to hire BVU students can post jobs, review your resume, and more easily connect with you for full-time and part-time jobs, internships, or summer jobs.

Register here to get started.

Job Search Advice
The same job search resources that are available to students still apply to you. Contact Career Services to assist you in exploring career change, updating your resume, and searching for new employment. Call to set up an on-campus appointment, or feel free to email careerservices@bvu.edu with questions.

Job Summit
Each February, the Job Summit is held on campus, and alumni are welcome either as attendees or as exhibitors. To recruit for your organization at the Job Summit, send a message to careerservices@bvu.edu, and we'll be in touch!

Let's partner!

You've been where our students are. We invite you to stay involved with BVU to assist our students with career decisions and opportunities. Here are a few ways you can reach out to current students:

Advice: If a current student calls you on the phone or e-mails you, they may have seen your name in our Alumni Directory, and have a few questions to ask you about your work or the community in which you live. 

Internships: If you work in an organization where college interns could assist, please let our office know of these opportunities.

Employment notices: Please contact us at careerservices@bvu.edu or fax us at 712.749.2036 with employment vacancies within your organization or if you wish to recruit on campus. We'll be happy to host you. 

Campus Presentation: If you have insights about your career that you would like to share with students preparing for a similar career path, let us know. We'll connect you to the student organizations or faculty associated with that career who may wish to invite you to give a presentation in a workshop setting or club meeting or classroom.

Career Symposium: Each year during Homecoming Week, alumni representing various occupations gather to provide career advice for current students through a series of classroom presentations, group discussions, and one-on-ones. Your real-world experiences can make a big difference to a student who is uncertain, needing more information to make a decision, or in the process of setting realistic goals. Your story can inspire and help students to persist to graduation. Contact your Alumni Office at devalum@bvu.edu to volunteer. 

Life After Graduation: Help start BVU graduates off on the right foot by participating in the Life After Graduation seminar series. These events give juniors and seniors a chance to learn about important transition issues - using credit, investing, budgeting, and much more - all the things you wish you'd known before you graduated.
