Undergraduate Candidates: Finding a job right after your bachelor’s degree can be a lot to manage. You may be considering full-time work, part-time work, graduate degrees and so on. We are here to provide resources and guidance as you navigate your next steps. There is no “right” way into student affairs, and we are excited nonetheless that you are considering this career path during your undergraduate years. My goal is to support Undergraduate Candidates with any of their anticipated paths. – IC Ulep

Incoming Professionals: We’re thrilled to work with professionals who are entering the field from graduate school. We know it can be an exciting time to be searching for your new professional home as you work toward the culmination of your graduate degree. We aim to provide resources, workshops, and blog posts that will assist you in your search, ranging in topics from interview tips to negotiation skills and more. It is our goal to assist Incoming Professionals with the search and transition to full-time employment within the field of student affairs. – Courtney Rufh & Jeremiah Emiliani-Salois

Current Professionals: As a current professional, we look forward to helping you fine-tune your needs and expectations as you progress in your career. Finding the right match between you and your future employer is an important partnership to help with longevity and success in the field.
