What We've Built

Your network starts on the water.
It doesn't end there.

At Syracuse, we've done what coaches at top programs talk about — we've organized our alumni into a living, searchable network that students can actually use. When you're a Syracuse rower about to graduate, you're not cold-calling into the job market. You're making a warm call to someone who pulled the same oars, learned the same discipline, and wants to help.



"Stanford coaches cite Silicon Valley alumni connections as a recruiting advantage. We're building that same thing at Syracuse — and it's already working."

Real Connections. Real Results.

Stories from the network.

Within weeks of graduation, I had a direct introduction to an engineering lead at Pratt & Whitney — someone who rowed at Syracuse years before me. The conversation felt nothing like a job interview. It felt like talking to a teammate. I started that fall.

I wasn't sure what industry I wanted to go into. An alumni mentor helped me think through it, made three calls on my behalf, and within a month I had offers to consider. I didn't know that network existed when I committed. I wish someone had told me sooner.

I came back as an alumni mentor because someone did that for me. The discipline these athletes have — the ability to grind, to work as a unit, to stay composed under pressure — that's genuinely rare in the workforce. They're the first call I make when a position opens up.

How the Network Works

Three steps from athlete to opportunity.

01
Student-Athlete Connects

A graduating rower tells us their field of interest, geography, and goals. They don't have to figure it out alone — they start by telling us what they're looking for.

02
We Make the Match

Our network liaison searches the alumni database and makes a warm, personal introduction — not a cold email. The alumni already said they want to help. We just connect the dots.

03
The Conversation Begins

Two people who share the same uncommon bond — Syracuse Rowing — talk. Often that one conversation leads to a job offer, an internship, a mentor relationship, or all three.
