SYRACUSE — A new partnership between Syracuse University (SU) and LinkedIn aims to build greater connections among alumni, career services teams, and students.
The partnership, through LinkedIn’s College Pilot Program, will allow SU to reach alumni registered with LinkedIn and increase participation in the school’s official alumni network on the site, according to the university.
The program will provide the SU community on LinkedIn with a more extensive, connected way to engage with each other, Kate Brodock, executive director of digital and social media at SU, said in a news release. It will allow students and alumni to identify industries, geographies, and specific employers with strong alumni representations.
