If you personally don’t know many alumni or any at all, that’s okay. You can always check with your professors or friends to see if they know of alumni that would be interested in your project(s). Another good idea is to connect with your university’s alumni office in administration. Colleges keep extensive databases on their alumni that are valuable sources of information - you can work director with your school to strategically identify which alumni would be most appropriate to reach out to. Aim to have about 10-15 alumni on your original list of alumni to connect with. The more, the better. As time goes on, your own personal database of alumni will grow and expand. </span><br/span> ===
