Recent Alumni Network (RAN)
What is RAN?
The Recent Alumni Network (RAN), representing graduates of the last decade (classes of 2013 – 2023), leads the charge in developing, planning, promoting and delivering quality programs designed to engage recent graduates in the Montclair State University community. The Committee focuses on programs reaching the current graduating class as they transition to alumni, addressing the special interests and needs of the first years following commencement and providing opportunities for networking, community service, cultural and professional development activities.
Recent Event – Rock Your LinkedIn Profile
On March 2, 2023, alumni learned how to create a LinkedIn profile that brings your personal professional story to life, whether you’re just starting out, seeking to advance, or making a career change. This “Rock Your Profile” session offered tips on tailoring each section, starting with the key insight that a LinkedIn profile is unique and shouldn’t be approached exactly like a resume. We covered ways to add media to a profile, methods for showcasing your accomplishments, volunteer work and aspirations and specific examples of profile phrases and language that can help inspire your personal story.
Presenters:
Maryann Angelella ’88, Account Director, Talent Solutions, LinkedIn
Traci Basaman, Manager, Customer Success, LinkedIn
