Your VCU network is bigger than you think

Tap into the global VCU community of alumni, students, parents and friends through VCU Link. VCU Link is your link to your VCU network, where you can find:

• A networking directory
• Industry-based networking groups
• Career-related resources
• Mentoring opportunities

VCU Link isn’t just another networking platform — it’s designed specifically for the VCU community, with no extra costs for “premium” services. You and your student already have your VCU experience in common, so no call is a cold call when you already have a foot in the door. Share ideas on discussion boards, explore industry networks and directly email fellow Rams to make meaningful contacts.

Get ready to tap into the power of your network to achieve what’s next! It’s free and only takes a few minutes to sign up.
