The CCS Career Development team provides guidance on resume, CV and cover letter preparation; interview skills; job search techniques and more. The office coordinates career events and on-campus recruiting throughout the year and provides students with services such as the Career Network, Professional Practice Workshops and Career Resources. We support both current students and alumni in their search for residency, exhibition, internship and employment opportunities.
Connecting with Staff
In an effort to maintain the health and safety of students and staff, we will meet with students by appointment – phone or Zoom. Meeting by appointment will allow us to better serve your needs and will avoid crowded office space where social distancing would be impossible. Contact and scheduling appointment information is on the right side of this page.
