The Career Resource Center (CRC) is always willing to
assist Sterling Alumni. We welcome alumni to tap into
our numerous electronic resources. Find out about them below. We would also like to invite you to take part in our Career Chats. Career Chats are an opportunity for Sterling alumni to discuss with students, faculty, and staff how Sterling prepared them for the careers they currently hold. These chats occur in the CRC during either a lunch or dinner throughout the school year. Contact the CRC if you are interested in participating.
