Career GPS for First-Gen Students
Navigating college as a first-generation student means facing unique challenges on a regular basis. And at Hiatt, we love to turn a challenge into an opportunity! That means equipping first-generation students with the tools necessary to flourish in their career development journey.

One of the best ways to develop your professional network is to build relationships with alumni, who can provide valuable guidance. It’s easy through the Rise Together Mentor Network, a virtual space for Brandeis students to network and connect with alumni. These professionals WANT to help you! Alumni come from a broad range of industries and fields, helping students connect with someone who can offer insight into their career path. Join now!
