Dear Colleagues — The Career Center is pleased to recognize 16 student-nominated Outstanding Career Influencers from across campus. Watch the video below to hear how faculty and staff are supporting students in their career and professional development:
Outstanding Career Influencers:
What is the Career Influencers Network? The Career Influencers Network empowers all members of the SCU community to support students in their career journey by sharing career-related information, having special access to Career Center resources, highlighting career influencers across campus, and reinforcing the idea of "Career Everywhere." Who can join the Career Influencers Network? The Career Influencers Network is open to all SCU faculty and staff. Curious and want to learn more? Complete the interest form today and a member of our Career Development team will be in touch. As always, I am excited to work together to deliver on the promise of higher education for all of our students: a good job, social capital, and economic mobility in pursuit of a more humane, just and sustainable world. Thank you,

On Wednesday, June 7, Vania Tong, Assistant Director of Career Development, and Colleen Withers, Director of Career Development and Campus Integration, will present at the annual conference of the National Association of Colleges and Employers on the role, impact and future of A.I. solutions in the field of career services. 
The main focus of this session will be on how each of SCU's three career services offices adopted and implemented VMock, an A.I. resume review software. Vania has spent the past several months analyzing and translating a voluminous amount of data into key, actionable insights that will benefit our profession as we continue to consider the pros and cons of A.I. A special thank you to Debbie Snyder, Assistant Dean of Career Management in the School of Law and Sunaina Gulati-Ruh, Senior Director of Graduate Business Career Management in the Leavey School of Business for your help and support in sharing data and insights. ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ Welcoming New Graduate Interns, Demetria and Sandy
In an effort to expand our career advising services, the Career Center is thrilled to announce that we have hired two new graduate interns from the School of Education and Counseling Psychology: Demetria Quijada and Sandy Masson.
As members of the Career Development team, Demetria and Sandy will report to Colleen Withers. Please join us in extending them both a warm welcome. ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ First Destination Survey, and Supporting Graduating Students
This year, the Career Center and the Office of Institutional Research have partnered to update and deploy the First Destination Survey (f/k/a Survey of Recent Graduates) to obtain information on post-graduation outcomes. We are mindful that sending a survey to students asking them about their post-graduation plans may cause feelings of anxiety and stress. Please encourage students to schedule an appointment with a career advisor through Handshake, or have them email careercenter@scu.edu to be directed to the right person and/or resource(s). We also host a quarterly Recent Grad/Alumni Job Search Strategy Program for those in need of post-graduation career support. Our next cohort opens in August. Interested students should fill out the interest form or email Myriam Bartz, Assistant Director of Career Development for Graduate Students and Alumni, at mbartz2@scu.edu. The Career Center keeps regular hours all summer and students can continue to freely access our services and resources even after graduation. ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ Questions, concerns, ideas, suggestions? |
