We recognize the strength of our alumni network and because of this the PAF Alumni Committee is leading an effort to re-launch the PAF LinkedIn Group. It is our hope to make the group more accessible and useful to our alumni network.
Our goal is for the LinkedIn Group to function as the PAF program’s internal professional social platform, with a special focus on professional development. Currently, we are planning to highlight three major categories of content. Firstly, we will post the professional competency presentations done by individual PAFs. We want all alumni to be included in the discussion, so you’re encouraged to post additional professional development related articles, videos, and information. Discussions around certain topics will also be facilitated occasionally. Secondly, we’d like the group to be an active networking space. We invite our alumni will share their own networks and career opportunities among the group. Lastly, this platform will also be another place for us to inform our alumni about great events with the program as well as the university. In addition, we welcome alumni to share events with the group so we can support our own individual initiatives and events.
We are in the initial phases of this initiative, but we encourage posts from our PAF alumni. We hope this LinkedIn Group will take the professional development piece of the PAF program even further. As we are excited about further connecting with our alumni in the PAF LinkedIn group, we also want to invite you to check out great LinkedIn blog posts by Chelsea Lenhart and Max Tingle as they reflected on their professional development experience.
