The team, along with career colleagues at the individual schools and colleges, have worked diligently to enhance the student experience through a variety of efforts, most recently including expanded services and virtual experiences.
“The Career Services team looks forward to further connecting students, faculty and staff to new resources and expanded services that bolster student success and professional development,” says Adam Capozzi, director of Career Services, assessment and student success. “I encourage students to explore our newly launched website, resources such as VMock and Handshake, while connecting with the team to help answer questions unique to their professional journey.”
