Services for Alumni

Career Services at Trinity University is designed to best serve the needs of the new college graduate. Our resources, job postings and expertise are geared toward entry-level positions in the job market and entry into graduate and professional schools. As a result of this focus and our staff size, we limit our counseling and advising services to alumni who have graduated in the last three years. Alumni may utilize all other services including electronic resources online.

Career & Graduate School Advising
Alumni within three years of graduation can schedule an advising appointment by calling 210/999-8321. We can arrange a phone appointment if you are unable to visit campus. Alumni are limited to one session with a career advisor.

Reciprocal Services
Career Services may be able to arrange the use of another college’s career services for Trinity alumni living away from the San Antonio area. Often, peer institutions will allow others to use their career services library, job listings, directories, videotapes and other resources. You may be able to attend their group workshops. To explore this option, request a Letter of Reciprocity from us asking for reciprocal services and note which college/university you are hoping to access. Please keep in mind that each campus makes their own policy about which services they will offer under reciprocity and some may choose to charge a fee. 

Career Resource Area
The Career Resource Area houses numerous books, guides and directories designed to assist students and alumni in their career development. The library also contains print copies of job listings, newsletters and a collection of guides to graduate and professional study. If you have a question or need assistance, you contact our office at 210/999-8321 or at careerservices@trinity.edu.
