Job description
The Center for Careers and Internships (CCI) is hiring two Outreach and Engagement Fellows for the 2024-2025 academic year!

Support digital campaigns and events: Help brainstorm, plan, and promote campus events, workshops, and themed outreach campaigns.
Model strong CCI usage: Demonstrate knowledge of tools like Handshake, resume guides, and drop-in hours. Show students how to make appointments and navigate career resources.
Provide operational support: Assist with project-based tasks as needed.
