The Philadelphia Alumni Chapter consists of all alumni, parents, and friends living in the greater Philadelphia area. The chapter is one of the longest running ones in the Lafayette Alumni Association.

The Philadelphia Alumni Chapter has always been one of the best chapters and continues to offer a diverse calendar of events for its members. If you are interested in planning and organizing events, please give Carrie Chaitt '03 a call (see info below).

ALUMNI NEEDED TO HELP STUDENTS GAIN VALUABLE INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

Lafayette students have wonderful skills and ideas to offer employers and graduate schools after graduation, but they also need professional experience. In this challenging economy, internships are more valuable than ever. In order for Lafayette students to be competitive, they need tangible experience to showcase their skills. Here’s where we need alumni support.

Career Services asks you to consider offering a summer internship for a student. If you are unable to offer an opportunity yourself, you can provide us with information about internships at your place of employment.

Please contact Rachel Nelson Moeller ’88 at moellerr@lafayette.edu or 610-330-5115 to discuss how you can help.
