Career Development Office
Career Services Overview
We want iSchool students to feel equipped to explore, prepare for, and act on their career goals and to bring their ideas, skills, and values into meaningful work.
We know that access to career opportunities and professional networks is not equal for everyone. Our goal is to support students as they navigate those barriers, build confidence, and move toward careers that matter to them.
We encourage you to connect with us early and often. Your questions, feedback, and engagement help us better support iSchool students as they pursue meaningful careers and lives.
Connect with us early and often. We are here to help you explore options, prepare for opportunities, and take the next step with confidence.
