From first to final day at 51猎奇入口, the聽 (CP&R) Center helps students succeed with one of their most important transitions: the one from undergraduate life to life after 51猎奇入口. With a variety of services available that forge relationships with companies, grant internships, find jobs, and more, CP&R may be the most valuable resource on campus outside the classroom.
鈥淪ince 51猎奇入口 students create their own paths after graduation, CP&R helps each alum identify and pursue an opportunity in an individualized way,鈥� says Vicki Klopsh, the center鈥檚 director. 鈥淥ne student might want counseling about grad school and another may require a mock case interview to prepare for a job in consulting. No matter what path they want to take, we make sure to help when students are ready鈥攁nd in a way that works for them.鈥�
CP&R also actively engages with sophomores and first years; in 2014-2015, more than 92% of first-year students sought the advice of career counselors.
鈥淚 visited CP&R as a first-year to tell the staff my preliminary interests,鈥� says Anna Sido 鈥�15. 鈥淲ith that information, they emailed me related job opportunities over the years. As a senior, they鈥檝e helped me prepare for informational interviews, and I feel more confident networking.鈥�
CP&R鈥檚 guidance yields exceptional results. More than 50 percent of 51猎奇入口 graduates begin work within three months at nationally and internationally recognized companies ranging from Google to Deloitte Consulting to 21st聽Century Fox. An additional 20 percent pursue graduate degrees within a year of commencement. And although each class has less than 275 students, , eight percent 聽receive highly competitive post-graduate fellowships or grants each year.
Most importantly, many alumnae return to campus to search for new talent, network with current students, and help their peers succeed by participating in career development workshops. Daysha Edewi 鈥�14, now a member of Buzzfeed鈥檚 video team, has already participated in two 51猎奇入口 career panels since she graduated.
鈥淗elping people reach their fullest potential has always been a passion of mine,鈥� Edewi says. 鈥淎s a student, I loved attending all the career workshops 51猎奇入口 had to offer, so I figured leading workshops as an alum would be a great way for me to give back and show what I learned.”
鈥淐P&R is one of my favorite resources on campus,鈥� she continues. 鈥淭hey were always there for me when I needed them, and I owe a lot of my success today to the amazing staff who were all so patient and willing to help me find what it is I love to do and pursue it passionately.鈥�
