DIVERSITY RESOURCES FOR ALUMNAE

Internships | Permanent Recruitment and Networking

The goal of this collection of resources is to provide alumnae with information and guidance that speaks to the unique needs and issues that come with being a woman in a search for temporary as well as permanent career opportunities. Alumnae should examine the other diversity sections if they share one or more characteristics with the other targeted populations.

Alumnae should utilize these resources in conjunction with those outlined in the alumni index that deal with career exploration, internships, permanent positions, job search skills development, and the information resources that impact all these areas.

Counselors at the Center for Career Services are available for in-person and telephone discussions on how these resources can be used effectively. Phone appointments may be arranged at 315 443-3616.

Suggestions for additional resources should be emailed to Chuck Reutlinger.
