Career Communities
Career Communities, or "industry clusters", connect students with peers, faculty and alumni professionals who share an interest or expertise in a particular industry. Each Career Community is led by a career adviser and provides an opportunity to connect to specific, tailored industry resources and programs.
By joining one or more community, students have access to:
- Individual/group consultations facilitated by career advisers
- Industry tailored resources, information and advice
- Targeted internship, entry-level and professional development opportunities
- Networking events and other Career Services' programming
- Advice from faculty & alumni professionals
