Since graduating from Stevens, Jean has participated in undergraduate career development panel discussions, undergraduate mentorship programs, and on-campus recruitment activities. In addition, she has supported several Solar Decathlon projects, providing financial resources and professional expertise.

She hopes that her participation serves as an example for other alumni to get involved. “I would like the SAA to have a broader reach to engage a larger group of alumni to get involved with the school and with each other,” she says. “Being an alumna of two other universities has given me the opportunity to experience the type of outreach and alumni engagement opportunities that are possible. One of the universities I graduated from has successfully utilized Zoom and webinars to engage a broader alumni community; another coordinates a women’s focused LinkedIn Group. It might also be beneficial to partner with one of the university clubs in NYC to allow Stevens to share their facilities. With the expansion of remote work, having a place to go that is not your office, where you can meet clients, associates, fellow alumni, etc., would be welcome.”
