Alumni
Career services doesn’t stop when you graduate. The CVM Career Services provides career guidance for DVM graduates up to one year following graduation to support alumni in the earliest stage of their careers. For alumni who are one year and beyond, career coaching services are available through membership with the NC State Alumni Association.
In addition, there are opportunities for our alumni to connect with current students. Whether it is for recruitment, mentoring or volunteering to speak, we welcome working with alumni to prepare our DVM students for life after graduation.
