Presenting LUConnect!
LUConnect is an online career information exchange program, connecting students with alumni across the world. The program is powered by Revere Software and has been gifted to Loyola University Chicago by generous alum, Brian Kurth (M.A. Political Science).
LUConnect reaches across states, countries, and oceans. It enables and empowers students to talk to alumni about career choices, employer cultures, and internships.
LUConnect is a resource for finding real-life career advice shared by Alumni, who we call champions, who can answer your questions and offer insights into their profession.
Connect. Anywhere. Anytime.
