CareerLink was initiated by the Alumnae Association to help junior, senior, and Weekend College students investigate careers in which the students have a direct interest. Please consider sharing your experience, time, and the cost of breakfast, lunch, or coffee with a current Katie. If you wish to volunteer to host a student or to help the calling committee, please contact the Alumnae Office 651-690-6666. The commitment is for one meeting, the time of which is flexible.
CAREER SHADOW PROGRAM
You can be instrumental in providing a real eye-opening experience for a current CSC student investigating her career interests. CSC’s SHADOW program is designed to provide younger students with a realistic glimpse into a career of interest to them. A student is paired with an alumna who will host her for all or part of a day on the job after the student has done some initial career research with the Career Development Office. Call the Career Development Office at 651-690-6985, for further information.
