1. Want to be Featured in a New IU Documentary?

 

At the IU Career Development Center, we're ready to set the record straight: no one should have to settle for a career they don't love-including you. ­

 

So we're creating a short documentary about career exploration. What it is, why it matters, and how it can lead to a meaningful and financially secure career.

 

Now it's time to cast our stars!

 

You don't have to have a career in mind to participate. Declared and exploratory students are welcome to fill out our short survey. Tell us a bit about yourself. If it seems like you'd make a good fit for the project, we'll be in touch very soon. Production is set to begin by the beginning of December!

 

Be a part of IU's next big legacy.

 


 

Deadline: Monday, November 25th

If you need to see an advisor between Monday, November 25 and Wednesday, November 27, contact us at (812)-855-5234.

3. New Website for the Career Development Center and Arts & Sciences Career Services!

 

Beginning October 26

 

In our office's constant effort to innovate how we reach the student population, we are excited to announce the launch of our new website. Although in the past we have combined online resources for the Career Development Center and the Arts and Sciences Career Services, we have decided to separate these two student populations to expand resources for targeted audiences.

 

The Career Development Center website highlights resources and services for new students, exploratory or undeclared majors, and students thinking of changing their current major. The new website can be found at: www.cdc.indiana.edu.

 

The Arts and Sciences Career Services website is geared directly towards students in The College of Arts and Sciences, providing them with resources and services for developing liberal arts careers. The new website can be found at: www.ascs.indiana.edu.

 

Social media sites - such as Twitter (@IUCareers), Facebook (Indiana University-Career Development Center), LinkedIn (Indiana University Career Development Center), and Pinterest (@IUCareers) will continue to serve both the Career Development Center and Arts and Sciences Career Services.

 

In order to make this transition as smooth as possible, our office is happy to answer any questions you may have regarding these changes. Feel free to contact our office via email (iucareer@indiana.edu) or telephone (812-855-5234).
