Your Resource for Career Exploration

Economic times are difficult and students, faculty and parents are wondering what the job market will hold. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers 2009 and 2010 Study Survey results, the likelihood of a student getting a job offer increased with the frequency of career center use: Students who used the career center four or more times a semester were more likely to have job offers than those who used it once a semester. The University Career Center realizes that we must be pro-active and help YOU get the edge in the job market- students need the Career Center now , more than ever.
