We are migrating away from the Crimson Network platform as of February 19, 2024. As you may recall, we used the Crimson Network as a mentoring and virtual networking platform. It also provided a job board for career opportunities. If you have a profile on the Crimson Network, here is what you need to know.
Through the Crimson Network, you may have identified various volunteer preferences. We thank you for your willingness to serve! We need an update. Please submit an updated volunteer interest form. As volunteer/mentor opportunities arise, we will reach out to our list of current volunteers.
To network with alumni, use the alumni online community and consider joining our LinkedIn group, IUP Alumni Association. This group has more than 11,000 members and is a terrific way to network virtually. We will continue to actively explore virtual network alternatives to ensure we provide the best experience for alumni and students while optimizing cost efficiencies.
We will continue to use the Handshake network for career opportunities. The IUP Career and Professional Development Center oversees Handshake. Set up an account to access more than 850K employers. With thirteen million active users it has become the leading early career community in the United States. Your continued involvement is vital to us, and our aim is to further elevate your volunteer and networking opportunities. Stay tuned for updates and be sure to complete the recommended steps below.
