Over the next several weeks, we’ll be shining a spotlight on Paine College alumni across a variety of fields, industries, and careers!

When we get to your profession, we want you to check in and tell us what you’re up to! Share a few words about what you’re doing, your business or organization, a website if you have one, accomplishments, services, or anything else that helps your fellow Paineites connect with and support you.

This is about more than highlighting careers—it’s about building connections, creating opportunities, supporting alumni-owned businesses, and strengthening the Paine College network.

FIRST UP - Where are all of our Lion Educators! By now, most schools (local and collegiate) are back in full swing. Rep your school and tell us how you’re serving. Whether you’re teaching first graders, are a Guidance Counselor, Principal or a Vice President of Student Success, we want to know!! Get ready, your industry may be next!
