W. P. Carey offering resources and support to alumni in transition

As part of the W. P. Carey School of Business’ lifelong commitment to alumni, the school is responding to recent layoffs with specialized resources to support impacted graduates.

Sometimes, career changes can be intentional steps along a path with a clear goal in mind. Other times, job transitions can mean uncertainty, and it can feel as though well-laid plans have been derailed. Unexpected job loss, like those in a recent stream of layoffs, can be difficult to process emotionally and practically.
