Share Your Career. Inspire an SSU Student.

Sonoma State alumni - we’re looking for hosts for Take a Seawolf to Work, a collaborative program from the SSU Alumni Association and Career Center.

Open your workplace to a current SSU student for a one-day job shadowing experience and give them a behind-the-scenes look at your profession. Share your career journey, offer insight into your industry, and help a student explore what their future could look like.

Students and hosts are matched based on career interests, industry, location, and availability. No internship, job opportunity, or formal interview is expected - just a few hours of conversation, connection, and real-world career exploration.
