Faculty/Staff Career Development Resources

Referrals

Faculty members are essential in facilitating career and graduate school success for students. Please refer students to our office. We can assist them with career counseling, which may include having them take a career assessment. We also have a resource library with career and graduate school materials. In addition, we can help students in all majors with their internship and job search.

We are also available to attend a school and/or department meeting to talk about our services, answer questions, or brainstorm ideas for providing high-quality services to our students. As you plan career-related events for your majors and minors, please let us know about them. We would be happy to help you publicize them or, if you wish, participate in them with you.
