Harpur Edge Connection Builder

Program Overview

Harpur Edge Connection Builder is a four-week program to teach Harpur College students what they need to know about building professional connections with alumni to help them get a professional edge! Using Mentor Match, an online platform that connects Binghamton students with alumni volunteers, students will explore career paths and learn how to distinguish themself as they embark on their profession and prepare for a successful future.

Students will learn how to create their Mentor Match profile, refine their resume, identify alumni in area(s) of career interest, reach out and connect for informational interviews, mentoring relationships and virtual or in-person shadowing opportunities.

The Liberal Arts to Careers Extern Program (LACE) was Harpur Edge's signature shadowing program from 2010–2020. This program serves as the foundation for the new Harpur Edge Connection Builder program. If you were a student participant or alumni sponsor in the LACE program we welcome you to participate as a host in the Harpur Edge Connection Builder program by logging into MentorMatch and checking the box that you are available to host students for shadowing and this will invite Harpur Edge Connection Builder students to reach out to you for informational interviewing, virtual or in person shadowing opportunities.
