1. Nonprofit Professional Roundtables

Wednesday, October 9; 7:00-8:30 pm

State Room East, Indiana Memorial Union

Have you always wanted to work at a nonprofit, but worry about finding positions in this competitive sector? Networking in the field can give you a step above the competition. At this event, you will have the opportunity to speak one on one with several nonprofit professionals. Learn about organizations and make connections in the field to help your job and internship search. Unlike other events where employers lecture to large groups, this event will allow you to speak individually with nonprofit representatives from diverse organizations and gain valuable face time with potential future contacts.

We prefer that students RSVP through your myIUcareers account, accessible at iucareers.com.

Business casual attire (dress shirt, dress pants, or skirt) is appropriate for this event.

2. Undergraduate Drop-In Career Advising Hours

Starting Monday, August 26th, our drop-in advising hours will be:

Mondays: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Thursdays: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Monday-Friday: 12:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Undergraduate drop-in career advising is available without appointment in the Career Development Center, which is located at 625 N. Jordan on the northwest corner of Jordan and 10th. Drop-in sessions last approximately 20 minutes. Career advisors answer general questions about majors or careers; critique resumes and cover letters; explain what resources are available on campus; and get students started on internship, job, and graduate school searches. If additional time is required, the advisor will refer the student to an hour-long advising appointment.
