Alumni Services

Career Services offers a wide range of job search services to alumni. Alumni, especially those not residing in the Hays area, are encouraged to take advantage of the resources on our web site. Additionally, Fort Hays State University graduates may call to request an appointment to meet with Career Services' director to discuss individual employment needs. During an advising session, alumni discuss topics such as conducting a job search in a specific location, developing a network of employment contacts, preparing for interviews, and/or the use of specific Career Services' resources. Career Services has greatly expanded the services that are offered to alumni of Fort Hays State.

NOTE: If you are an alumni looking to hire current FHSU students, please refer to the Employer section of our web page.
