Hello! I’m Alissa Strong, one of the career
advisors at Career Services. I enjoy my work most because I get to learn what
sparks interest in each student that comes through our office. We are all very
privileged in that we can choose to have conversations about which career paths
we’d like to take and have so many opportunities at SU and in this area to
explore those pathways.
I also work with students a lot on
building their confidence and understanding their unique skills and strengths.
Sometimes it’s hard to talk about yourself in an interview or on a resume!
That’s why reflecting on and acknowledging your accomplishments is key to
marketing yourself.
Since many of us spend 40+ hours a week at
work, I hope to help students and alumni seek out opportunities that offer an
enjoyable/comfortable work environment and a role that utilizes their best
qualities. Not sure exactly what it is you want to do yet? It’s ok! Many
of us still don’t know… or change our minds a lot.
Alissa Strong is an Assistant Director of
Outreach and works primarily with students and alumni from Science &
Engineering, Nursing, and Theology and Ministry programs.

Upcoming Events
Q&A
“Can I still access Career Services and your
resources even after I graduate from Seattle University?”
Absolutely, we offer many
opportunities, events, and workshops for our SU alumni through our office! Just
like the current students, alumni can come in during advising hours or make an
appointment to meet with one. Three years upon graduation, alumni are
considered “experienced alum” and can meet no more than three times a year with
our advisors. However, alumni also have access to the Redhawk Network whenever
you please! If you graduated prior to 2007 and have never accessed the Redhawk
Network, please create an account for yourself here.
Alumni are also welcome to
attend our annual events such as the Part-Time Job Fair in the fall, Internship
Fair in the winter, and the upcoming Career Expo in the spring. Employer
Information Sessions, which generally happen on a weekly basis, are also open
for you to attend. These are great opportunities for students and alumni alike
to connect with employers.
In addition, we offer many alumni
workshops to help better your professional life.
This spring we are
offering:
March 19th
