Employer Contacts
When the CDO connects with employers and alumni, we ask if they’re open to receiving resumes directly from students for open positions. Those who agree are shared exclusively with Level 4 participants.
To maintain strong relationships with these contacts, we limit access to students who’ve reached Level 4, ensuring a high level of career engagement. We kindly ask that you respect this effort by keeping the provided information for your use only.
