It doesn’t take long for Le Moyne alumni to start making a difference. With the skills they’ve gained and the values they carry from their Jesuit education, they’re out in the world creating real impact in their communities and their careers.
Graduates from the past 10 years are already working at places like Google, MetLife, and the NFL. Others are helping people find safe, affordable housing through the Syracuse Housing Authority, conducting cancer research at the Moffitt Cancer Center, or supporting students and staff at MIT.
They’re doctors, entrepreneurs, educators, scientists, and creatives who use their talents (and determination) to meet the world’s needs. They left The Heights ready to lead, serve, and make a difference.

Use all of the resources that are available to you as a student. Visit the Office of Career Advising and Development. Conduct research. Find a mentor. Drop in on office hours. Ask people how they made it to where they are today. Don’t stay in your dorm, don’t stay quiet, and you will get a big return on your investment. And remember this: If you fail, fail early. Fail young.”
