Given the extraordinary circumstances facing Bowdoin students, especially the Class of 2020 and 2021, we are looking for Bowdoin alumni, friends and family who can serve as a networking contacts.  Many of you have already raised your hand to help Bowdoin students in lots of ways - or maybe you're just getting involved again with Bowdoin.  This survey will help us connect you with students in the most timely and relevant way that is a great fit for the specific time and wisdom you are able and willing to give in this moment.
 
 
What is a networking contact?  All Bowdoin students, especially seniors, appreciate the opportunity to connect and learn from you about what you are seeing in the market in your career field right now and get your advice.  Talking with another person who believes in your potential can also be a tremendous source of cheer and confidence at a challenging time. Do let us know if you are getting too many (or too few) contacts; we are happy to help!  Any questions are welcome at cxd@bowdoin.edu.
 
Thank you for your willingness to be there for Bowdoin students.
I have the capacity/time to be a Networking Contact.  That means: a 20-60 minute conversation with a student seeking expertise or perspective, on their project or their career.  (More than one student may reach out to you).
We realize these career fields are not comprehensive, but they will give us a general sense of where you would like to lean in.  Please let us know which you are comfortable helping students with (check all that apply).  
Thank you so much for your willingness to help.  If you volunteered to be a networking contact we'll share your information directly with students.  We really appreciate your time.  We also suggest you may wish to get involved in LinkedIn Groups where other alumni, students, and family and friends of Bowdoin are having conversations about careers and sharing advice and leads:  the Bowdoin Career Advisory Network (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/1189177/) and Bowdoin's Initiative for Network Diversity (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8836973/).
