Can you help me find a job?
The Career Center does not function as an "employment agency," nor does it guarantee employment. Rather, we work with employers who want to provide opportunities to students either through on-campus interviewing or by posting positions. In addition, we actively strive to broaden the exposure of our students to career opportunities.

Internships are a key way of building relevant work experience. They can build your resume, add needed skills, expose you to the professional workplace, help build your network, help you find positive references, and lead to a full-time career positions. They also can help you choose or refine your selection of major or career.
