Buckeyes Connect makes it simple to network with 600,000+ alumni for projects. All you have to do is ask.
Easy. Like, actually easy.
Share your project idea
Share your project with relevant alumni via Buckeyes Connect and get responses into your inbox.
Register your project
Once an alum responds, register with Parker Dewey to describe your project and share your banking info (to get paid).
Take a short course
Take a short (about 3 hours) Gen AI course from IBM SkillsBuild so that you're ready to take on your project.
Get paid
Let us know that your project is completed and get paid for each (you can complete up to two).
Need inspiration? Here's how others like you have asked.
“Hello alumni. My name is Paul, and I’m graduating in a few months. I really like my history major, but I am considering a career in finance.
What specific skills or experiences should I focus on developing?
Thanks much!”
“Hello everyone, I’m Helen. I’m currently exploring career options with my BA in Mathematics and could really use some guidance.
Can you share your experiences or suggest potential career paths that align with my degree?”
“Hi, I’m Jayden. After 15 years in banking, I’m eager to embark on a new journey in marketing.
What initial steps should I take to transition successfully? Any advice from individuals who’ve made a similar switch would be invaluable.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Literally anything to help with your academic or professional development. There are thousands of alumni, faculty, staff and friends that can help with class projects, building and growing a startup, or figuring out career options.
Think of something you are genuinely stuck on: a decision, a path, a role you can’t quite picture. One specific question gets a better answer than a broad one.
We will only share your question with a very small number of relevant Alumni.
Your question will not be made public. It will be seen only by matched experts and a handful of administrators.
