Rhodes College has landed a spot in the top 10 colleges recognized by LinkedIn for empowering graduates to land jobs through powerful alumni connections.
In today’s competitive job market, forging meaningful relationships with alumni is just as essential as the academic journey itself. As LinkedIn editor Emily Bruck noted, alumni “become mentors who answer your messages, hiring managers who recognize your school on a resume and a community that endures long after graduation.”
At Rhodes, alumni actively champion current students and fellow graduates, highlighting the true value of a liberal arts education. With alumni groups in cities such as Atlanta, New York, Washington D.C., and Dallas, networking events are filled with opportunities and connections.
A majority of Rhodes students complete internships before graduating, with many openings referred or sponsored by alumni. Graduates secure roles locally at renowned institutions such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and FedEx, alongside national companies/firms such as Deloitte, Microsoft, and Amazon.
