Tips
We encourage that you schedule an appointment with the Office of Connected Learning (OCL) as soon as possible so they can help you find the best opportunities for you, and that you check in every quarter in case something opens up!
The Career Services is a great place to go if you are needing help polishing your resume or if you would like guidance on how to navigate through volunteering, internships, job searching, and/or networking as an Undocu student. They also assist alumni students (up to 3 years after graduation), so don't hesitate to reach out to them after you have graduated!
Gather uwb is a good place to start if being involved in research through the OCL or attending networking events with professionals through the Career Services sounds intimidating. Gather UWB is a platform where students promote their events, meaning that most of the people that you may connect with will be peers, which may provide a less intimidating experience to the networking world
