Information for Alumni

Career Development Center

The Career Development Center (CDC) provides services at no cost to alumni for three years after their graduation including assistance with resumes, interviewing, and job search strategies. To schedule an appointment with a career counselor, please call 651-523-2302 or schedule through Handshake. Depending on the time of year, appointment availability and service may be limited. 

Alumni who are more than three years post-graduation may use the resources on the CDC webpage and within Handshake. We have also developed a list of community-based career resources (PDF) which you can access for further assistance.
