Career Center Peer Internship Program
The Career Center’s peer internship program is an opportunity for students to work on campus and gain daily experience assisting students, faculty, and staff. During their time with the Career Center, our peers gain training in resume review, data processing & reporting, events support, and much more!
We currently have eight students from various majors working in our 2024-2025 Peer Intern group!
