Resources for Alumni

As a COM alum you have access to some of the same resources that our students do. If we can be of assistance, please contact us.

The Career Insider (powered by The Vault): This is an online resource library with a huge collection of articles about all types of careers. Read what a typical day is like for a variety of different positions. The Vault also includes a collection of databases with company directories for advertising, public relations, film and television. You can also research career fields, compile company and industry information and review trade publications. Note: The vault is a service COM purchases for its students and alumni. To verify that you’re an alum, you’ll need to enter your BU email address and then you will receive a password to access the system for 24 hours at that email address. When that expires, simply submit your email again and get a new one. Need to know how to get a BU email? Go to BU’s Alumni web site and under Alumni Link, select ‘Email Forwarding’.

Networking: Get some tips for building and maintaining a professional network.
