Our Alums are Paying it Forward
This page is intended to help current University of Rochester students learn from alumni who have volunteered their time and energy. Do not scrape, mass email, cold-spam, or share contact information outside the University community.
The public version of this page should not list private email addresses unless alumni explicitly consent. Use the contact method listed for each person.
How This Works
This is a student-facing alumni directory. The goal is not networking theater. The goal is to help students learn what real paths look like after Rochester economics and to connect serious students with alumni who are willing to be generous with their time.
Search by career
Filter by finance, consulting, policy, law, technology, graduate school, academia, data, nonprofit work, entrepreneurship, and more.
