JANUARY 2023
ALUMNI CAREER DAY
Participants from last year's Career Day shared their experience
and advice with SJND students.
Our annual Career Day is a terrific opportunity for alumni to speak with younger Pilots about career paths and education possibilities. This year, we will be hosting Career Day in-person and virtually on February 2, 2023.

We are looking for alumni to speak on career fields the students are interested in, including business, finance, marketing, sales, technology, engineering, health and medical sciences, arts, design, and entertainment. Students would like to learn career path options.If you majored in business, students would want to know possible job opportunities for a person with a business degree. 

This year we are also looking for alumni to lead skills workshops in resume writing, interviewing, job searching and networking, and financial literacy such as taxes, loans, and credit. Also, we are looking for alumni to lead students in career inventories, such as Holland Code Career tests, career personality profiler, and personality tests.

Career Day will be on Thursday, February 2 from 11:10AM to 3:10PM.
Each volunteer will be asked to speak or lead a class for 40 minutes. 

If interested, please contact Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving, Vicki Bargagliotti, vbargagliotti@sjnd.org, and fill out the form below.

MRS. ROD'S RETIREMENT & HOMECOMING RECAP
The gym was filled with alumni and former faculty and staff as we celebrated Mrs. Rod’s retirement after 43 years at Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School.

Mr. and Mrs. Rod are packing up
and moving to Alabama! 

In addition to Mrs. Rod’s retirement celebration, the Athletic Department and Alumni Office hosted women's and men’s alumni basketball games. It has been two years since we have been able to gather
for Homecoming.

The energy, excitement, and music from the SJND Pep Band had the gym rocking and rolling with good old fashioned pilot pride. It was so wonderful to have so many pilots altogether on campus!
