Departments across the College further deepen these connections through their own tailored alumni events and programming.

Harpur Edge — provides students with professional, intellectual, and personal development and support.

The program runs in three sessions throughout the year: fall semester, spring semester, and summer break. Fall and spring shadowing opportunities are located in and around the 91�� area, while summer opportunities are located in the New York metro area as well as the surrounding 91�� area.
Lunch & Learns with Harpur College Alumni — bring together alumni of Harpur's undergraduate and graduate programs for informal conversations with students about how to leverage a liberal arts and sciences degree and make the transition from student to professional.
