To all Politics & Government, Economics, and International Political Economy Faculty:

Do students often ask you “What can I do with my degree?” Alumni are a great resource to help students envision a future beyond Puget Sound. Urge your students to use the Alumni Sharing Knowledge (ASK) Network database to research career paths and attend ASK Night on Thursday, Oct. 25 to meet alumni in person!

Also, we invite you to join us at ASK Night to connect with alumni in attendance. Students tell us they’d like faculty there to facilitate introductions, and we welcome your participation.


Whether you attend or not, do you know alumni who your current students should get to know? Help ensure that students can easily connect with graduates from your department—search the ASK Network for alumni you know and invite them to join if they are not already members! The ASK Network search page is located on your CES Resources Exclusively for Faculty menu in Cascade.

Below is information about ASK Night; please forward it to your students.
