Alumni Student Network

The Alumni Student Network is a supportive group of alumni interconnected across the United and Canada.

In areas where there are larger concentrations of both students and alumni, there is an appointed alumna/us who is the Placement Area Coordinator (PAC). Alumni Area Coordinators (AAC) provide support for local alumni and alumni who are relocating to the area.

The role of these volunteers (PACs and AACs) is to be the key liaison between local students and alumni, their regional representative and the School. Alumni are solicited for volunteer services that they are willing to offer to prospective students, current students and fellow alumni.

PACs and AACs are provided with lists of services that their local alumni are willing to offer, such as those who are willing to call students, host events, be mentors and more. Students and alumni are notified of the Coordinator for their geographic area.

PACs/AACs

• Welcome students/alumni to the geographic area and introduce them to other alumni
• Share information and resources on social work professional development (e.g., networking, career options, referral information) or connect students and alumni with other alumni who can do this
• Validate the Smith SSW experience in a personal way
• Provide local geographic information (e.g., public transportation system, affordable restaurants, child care services, medical facilities, housing options and more)
