Alumni play an important role in assisting Career Development & Vocation as we partner with students by providing career coaching, curated resources and networks, and opportunities for career readiness skill development so that they may develop personalized pathways leading to lives of purpose and meaning.
Viking Connections
Alumni involved in Viking Connections are available to share advice on careers, industries, employment trends, and organizations within their areas of expertise. These mentoring relationships support and guide students — as well as young alumni — as they navigate their careers or consider graduate school. The program is open to students and alumni from all class years and majors.

Alumni seeking Career Assistance
Team members in Career Development & Vocation, part of CORE (Careers, Opportunities, Research, Exploration), are available to provide comprehensive career education and professional development resources, services, and programs for Augustana students and recent graduates up to three years beyond graduation.
- Recent graduates have access to all of the services, resources, and programs available to current students within three years of graduation including scheduling appointments with career coaches. Unless you requested deactivation, you continue to have access to your Handshake account.
- Alumni who have already launched their careers, graduated more than three years ago, and who are seeking career assistance continue to have access to our online resources such as job postings, career resources, and career event listings. You can also set up an alumni account on Handshake by following the instructions here and visiting Handshake.

Whether you are looking to post new jobs, schedule interviews (virtual or in-person), register for a career fair, or participate in a variety of other engagement opportunities, our team is here to help!
