External Influencers
Meet our External Influencers
Networking is an essential part of a student’s career development process. One of the goals of the Passage program is to help students grow and manage a network of professionals in their primary career field. However, for students to develop a network and gain real-world experience, they will need professionals and volunteers who are willing to share their insights, advice and first-hand experience.
FHU is extremely blessed to have an active alumni base throughout various career fields and professional communities around the world. These former Lions, as well as other friends of the University, will work within Passage to provide students with experience and first-hand knowledge about their chosen major and professional path. The individuals listed below, known in the Passage program as External Career Influencers, have made themselves available to students for advice, interviews, and the development of mentoring relationships. Connecting with our alumni network and with individuals in a similar career field will help further prepare students for life after FHU and will reinforce the University’s mission… to help students develop their God-given talents for His glory.
