The UWPIAA Professional Development Team is responsible for creating professional networking connections with alumni and developing the Alumni Marketplace (digital area on the website and at in person events). Additional responsibilities include developing cross-cultural training programs and services that may be marketed externally, to keep the UWPIAA sustainable.
We developed a Mentoring Program for UWPIAA alumni that was conducted in 2024 and 2025, but are looking for ways to better engage alumni with it, and could use your support as we evaluate it and decide how it may look in the future! Please reach out if you have ideas, suggestions, or would like to be involved.
You’re also invited to share your thoughts on how we might better leverage our professional network of alumni over LinkedIn.
If you have ideas, time and/or talent you would like to share, please let us know what those might be via the Contact Form or an email sent to profdev@uwpiaa.org.
Below is a presentation from our most recent session, “Communicating with Trust”, led by Ty Jernstedt (’93E).
