Corporate Chapters
Connect | Grow | Serve

The John Carroll University Alumni Association Corporate Chapter initiative aims to create opportunities for alumni to connect, grow, and serve together in the workplace.

Connect: Corporate Chapters offer alumni working for the same organization the opportunity to come together for social events and foster relationships that will benefit them personally and professionally.

Grow: Corporate Chapters provide alumni with professional development opportunities through in-office speakers and seminars.

Serve: Corporate Chapters bring alumni together to give back – to their organization, their community, and the University.

Starting a Corporate Chapter:

10 or more alumni working for the same organization

Awareness of fellow JCU alumni working at the same company
On-site coffee socials with JCU alumni and staff to start the work day

Ernst & Young

Ethical leadership is at the core of the John Carroll University student-experience. In fact, it serves as one of the University’s four academic learning goals. This focus on leadership, along with intellect, character and service, make for a natural transition to corporate partners that share similar values. Enter EY. As its website states , EY’s purpose is to develop “outstanding leaders who team to deliver on our promises to all of our stakeholders.
