Affinity Group Resources

Career Services supports students from marginalized communities in all aspects of their career planning: we can help you navigate choosing a major or career, making professional contacts, and marketing your skills and experiences on your resume and during interviews, all with the ultimate goal of finding meaningful work or continuing your education.
 

Career Services staff has also curated a list of identity-based resources to help students from marginalized communities clarify their career direction and to increase their competitiveness and connections. This list continues to grow as we discover more.
