Career Services, within the Division of Student Affairs, kicks off its annual ’Cuse Career Week on Monday, Sept. 30, with Resumania and continues throughout the week with Diversity in the Workplace, Career Fair @ the Dome, Graduate School Information Fair and Law School Information Fair.
The events offer Syracuse students the opportunity to network with employers, improve their job-hunting skills and explore opportunities for internships, full-time employment and post-graduate education.
“All students are encouraged to attend ’Cuse Career Week events, despite their class year or major,” says Sue Casson, associate director of employer relations. “Improving resumes, networking with employers and considering post-graduation options are all important steps to take whether you’re a first-year student, a senior or somewhere in-between.”
