With a number of Hoyas presumed soon to be without employment at the failed investment bank, it is incumbent on those who are in a position to do so to reach out to fellow alums, especially to those in the more vulnerable early stages of their careers and to those anticipating graduation this spring whose job offers may now evaporate. Given the current state of the economy there may not be too many opportunities available and, all other things being equal, we should do what we can to make sure that as many of them go to Hoyas as possible. I suggest this without being employed, myself, in the industry but knowing that looking out for our brethren makes us stronger.
Recommendations:
1) Work with the NY/NJ alumni club to set up a night this week to which Bear Hoyas and other Hoyas in the financial industry are invited, perhaps during and after the game on Friday, given the short trading week.
2) Call the Career Center and the MBA program office and offer to speak with any graduating students who had landed jobs at Bear.
Other recommendations are welcome.

I'm of no help here b/c I'm not employed yet and won't be in the financial field when I do become employed. But I very much support the spirit of what you're saying. One of the things everyone touts as being so advantageous about going to a school like Georgetown is the network (or I prefer "community") that comes w/ it. It makes sense to help out other Hoyas that are hitting a roadblock there.
