Like many recent grads, Natalie Rollo ’16 was on the move and in need of work. After searching job sites in Southern Cal, Rollo logged onto Santa Clara’s new Switchboard website and asked Broncos for help. Within two days, Rollo heard from Jenny Sullivan ’07, Los Angeles alumni chapter manager.
That weekend, she met Sullivan and other alums at Beyond Innovation: Los Angeles—a special SCU event showcasing big things happening on campus. Suddenly, Rollo had a growing professional network in her new city. Switchboard isn’t just for job hunting, it’s a place where Broncos ask for what they need and offer what they have—whether it’s an extra ticket to a show or a couch to sleep on during a long road trip.
