UNC Chapel Hill is committed to ensuring every student and alum is connected to the people and networks needed to succeed. How does the Heels Engage Network support this goal? By providing a space for alumni, current students, faculty and staff to connect. Where an alum can help ease the stress of picking a major or graduate school program for a current student. Where students can identify job opportunities that alumni have connections to. Where recent graduates can get a better understanding of what their career journey might look like from more seasoned alumni.
