Job Search Club for Graduate Students
Recognizing the many challenges and frustrations experienced while engaging in a job search, especially in the current economy, Career Services is offering a unique opportunity for you to join a Job Search Club. Members share one common link...a need or desire to obtain a job. For six weeks, these Job Search Clubs will meet weekly, where we will discuss and practice job search skills, techniques and strategies.

The graduate student club will meet on Tuesdays from 3:30 – 5:00pm in GLC – C on the following dates: February 2, 16, 23 and March 2, 16, and 23.

Registration is required so register now!!

Contact Amy McPherson if you have questions about the job search club.

Counseling Support Available in the GLC
Throughout the semester, the Cook Counseling Center will provide counseling support specifically to graduate students in GLC room 62 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 1-5pm. No appointment necessary. Feel free to take advantage of this if you are stressed, anxious, need to develop better study habits, or just need someone to talk to.

Career Services Walk-in Advising in the GLC!
Amy McPherson, Associate Director of Career Services, is available to graduate students every Wednesday, (except during spring break) from 1:30-5:00pm in the GLC Study Room (Room 46), to assist with career preparation questions, resume review and more. No appointment necessary.

Amy has a great number of books available for students to read, though the books must stay in the room. Take a look at the books here!
