For graduates and alumni anticipating an employment change or for those who may have become unemployed, the Alumni Connections Online Community offers a Career Center where alumni can post résumés and search for job postings throughout the United States. This site also offers an online alumni directory, a permanent email address, a calendar of events, a Virtual Marketplace with alumni discounts, and more. The Department is also in contact with other Art Institute locations and can provide feedback on markets throughout the country. The Art Institute of Washington believes that continued contact with its alumni is important and maintains a relationship with alumni through periodic events, mailings, newsletters, email and exhibitions.
