Professional in Residence Series

There are few things more valuable to college students than hearing from successful people who have been where they are now. This was the inspiration behind Knox’s Alumni In Residence series.

Throughout the year, remarkable alumni from around the world, working in a wide range of industries, return to campus for one to three days to offer insights and advice to help students discover their passions and launch meaningful careers.

Some residence events have included community/campus presentations; in-class dialogue or lecture; lunch-time career chats; evening workshops; individual or small group office hour appointments with students; and morning coffee talks.

If you don't live close to Galesburg, we established the Virtual in Residence webex sessions for alumni who want to engage with students, but may not have the opportunity to return in person. These hour-long, virtual presentations offer a convenient alternative for you to share with students how a Knox degree helped you lead a successful career.

To learn more or to volunteer your time as an Alumni in Residence, please email Associate Director of Alumni Engagement, Levi Morgan lamorgan@knox.edu.
