Professional Network
Wherever you’re headed, a Stephens woman wants to help you get there.
30,000+ Strong Alumnae Network
When you become a Stephens woman, you gain a network of alumnae who are motivated, connected and eager to help you succeed.
Our alumnae know that Stephens students have what it takes to make a big impact, and they’re ready to give you a hand in launching your career.
Our company has been fortunate to hire a good handful of Stephens alumnae. As an alumna myself, I understand how vigorous and well-rounded the fashion design and product development program is, and I have consistently found the recent graduates to be smart and well-rounded individuals. We’ve recently had five Stephens students as interns.”
