Ways to Get Involved with Career Services

Volunteer to be a Professional Contact! [expand/contract]

Volunteer to be on a Career Panel [expand/contract]

Career Services plans career panels throughout the academic year to educate students about a variety of potential career options. For example, we have invited community professionals to talk about their careers in writing, alternative health, human services, sports industry, criminal justice, and homeland security. Students enjoy hearing about panelists' experiences first-hand. It is also a good opportunity for them to learn about the rewards and challenges of specific careers, how to get a foot in the door, and they also gain a potentially good contact in the industry. If you offer expertise in a specific area (even one not mentioned above) and would like to participate as a panelist in a future career panel, please contact Ann Herrmann at Ann.Herrmann@colorado.edu  or call 303-492-8020.

Provide Internship Opportunities [expand/contract]

Internships provide valuable career education, professional skill development, and much needed experience. In return, student interns provide companies and other organizations with innovative, creative, energetic assistance in meeting goals. Internship programs also allow employers to screen potential full-time hires. To learn more about hiring interns from CU Boulder, see Employer Internship Information . If you need assistance in developing your internship program, please contact our internship coordinator, Lisa Lovett at Lisa.Lovett@colorado.edu  or call 303-492-4129.

Hire a CU Graduate [expand/contract]

Nothing is more helpful to CU students than helping them secure their first professional positions.
Widely recognized as one of the most prestigious state universities in the country, CU Boulder offers graduates who bring the latest academic training and professional skills to your organization. Whatever type of position you have available, we have a degree program that will meet your needs, and Career Services offers many different ways to find your perfect new hire. To learn more about hiring a CU graduate, please go to our Welcome Employer Homepage and choose a selection.

Help college students dress appropriately for their first interviews - donate your gently worn business attire to "Suit Yourself", a new program sponsored by Career Services, the Multicultural Engineering Program, the Multicultural Business Student Association at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Items are sold to CU-Boulder students at bargain prices (full suits will be priced at just $15). Proceeds benefit the two multicultural programs listed above.
